Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: zsh-5.0.2-7.el7_1.2 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the code that initializes environment variables in zsh did not correctly handle NULL values. As a consequence, zsh terminated unexpectedly when attempting to check the syntax of a shell script in ksh emulation mode. This update fixes the handling of NULL values, and the syntax check now works as expected when zsh runs in ksh emulation mode.
