[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#1014383: zsh: "IOT instruction" on SIGABRT

Package: zsh
Version: 5.9-1

The message zsh prints when a process aborts is confusing:

   % perl -MPOSIX -e'abort()'
   zsh: IOT instruction  perl -MPOSIX -e'abort()'

I happen to know that SIGIOT == SIGABRT on Linux, but I guess most 
people don't. The message was more informative in bullseye:

   % perl -MPOSIX -e 'abort()'
   zsh: abort      perl -MPOSIX -e 'abort()'
