zsh bug fix update

Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated zsh packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The zsh shell is a command interpreter which can be used as an interactive login
shell and as a shell script command processor. Zsh resembles the ksh shell (the
Korn shell), but includes many enhancements. Zsh supports command line editing,
built-in spelling correction, programmable command completion, shell functions
(with autoloading), a history mechanism, and more.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, the compdef utility prevented more than three commands
from using one completion service. As a consequence, compdef failed with the
error message "unknown command or service: mount". This update corrects the
underlying source code so that now more than 3 commands can use one completion
service. (BZ#700722)
- Prior to this update, zsh could, under certain circumstances, keep the Process
ID (PID) of terminated or suspended processes in the jobs list. As a
consequence, zsh waited infinitely for already terminated or suspended
processes. This update no longer returns the terminated PID and zsh now runs as
expected. (BZ#706029)
- Prior to this update, zsh could be interrupted when running the fork() option
if the malloc arena was still locked. As a consequence, zsh could become
indefinitely suspended when the malloc() function got called. With this update,
signals are queued before the fork to avoid interruptions. (BZ#733582)
All users of the zsh shell are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
