[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#924736: zsh 5.7.1 segfaults when three setopt options are in play

[Wesley Schwengle]

Package: zsh
Version: 5.7.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

Have a zshrc with the following setopts:

setopt hist_reduce_blanks
setopt hist_ignore_space
setopt interactivecomments

* Run zsh -f
* Now enter `     #`
* You get a command not found error
* Now source your zshrc
* Again entery `     #`
* Segfault

I've reproduced it with a docker image from debian testing.

It does work on Debian stable (zsh 5.3.1).
