[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#797721: zsh frozen with zombie child

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: zsh
Version: 5.1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Well, a major regression, with possible data loss to due the freeze,
and easy to reproduce.

1. Run "emacs some_file &"
2. Run "less some_other_file"
3. Quit emacs.
4. Quit less.

I've just reported the bug to zsh-workers.
