    Hello,

    Does anybody faces crashes and coredumps when using zsh on AIX? 
    IBM Support pointed back this is  Opensource - get in touch with zsh List.


    Thanks,
    Faizu

    Thank you for providing core file. 
    Is there any specific sequence of command or testcase that causes coredump ? 
    That would be easier to debug the issue.

    the zsh crash doesn't happen in a script. It is related to the command completion. The crash happens, when we invoice the command completion and only a single completion result exists.

    Example:

    Start zsh

    /opt/freeware/bin/zsh
    Go to the root directory
    cd /
    In / there's the etc directory. It's the only entry starting with "et"
    Enter the beginning of the cd etc command, however, after typing cd et hit the TAB key to execute the auto-completion.
    cd et<TAB>
    This results in the zsh crash

    cd et[1] 16778086 segmentation fault /opt/freeware/bin/zsh

    You should be able to repeat the crash using these steps.
