Kamil Dudka 2016-03-14 09:52:52 UTC Doc Text Cause:
Signal handlers were enabled while handling the global state of zsh and while using the heap memory allocator.

Consequence:
If a signal was received during the execution of a memory allocation functions and the signal handler attempted to allocate or free memory, the zsh process ended up in a deadlock and became unresponsive.

Fix:
Signal handlers are no longer enabled while handling the global state of zsh or while using the heap memory allocator.

Result:
The deadlock no longer occurs.

Doc Text Cause:
Signal handlers were enabled while handling the global state of zsh and while using the heap memory allocator.

Consequence:
If a signal was received during the execution of a memory allocation functions and the signal handler attempted to allocate or free memory, the zsh process ended up in a deadlock and became unresponsive.

Fix:
Signal handlers are no longer enabled while handling the global state of zsh or while using the heap memory allocator.

Result:
The deadlock no longer occurs.
Previously, if the zsh process received a signal during the execution of a memory allocation function and the signal handler attempted to allocate or free memory, zsh entered a deadlock and became unresponsive. With this update, signal handlers are no longer enabled while handling the global state of zsh or while using the heap memory allocator, which ensures that the described deadlock no longer occurs.
