[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#993843: zsh-static segfaults immediately

[David]

Package: zsh-static
Version: 5.8-7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

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

I recently upgraded zsh-static:amd64 from 5.8-6+b2 to 5.8-7.

With version 5.8-7, /bin/zsh-static segfaults immediately upon execution.  The previous 5.8-6+b2 version was fine.

Here is an example attempt to run zsh-static:

  tensor(pts/3):~> /bin/zsh-static
  zsh: segmentation fault /bin/zsh-static 
  tensor(pts/3):~> echo $?
  139

A side effect of this is that any user relying on zsh-static as their login shell cannot login via ssh any more, since their shell immediately crashes.
