zsh crashes with long double quoted strings.

[Andrew Myers]

zsh consistently crashes when entering long double quoted strings. For example

echo "asdf
asdf
asdf
asdf
asdf
asdf
asfd <newline>

consistently crashes zsh on my machine.

Hrm. I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce it:

~ % echo "asdf
dquote> asdf
dquote> asdf
dquote> asdf
dquote> asdf
dquote> asdf
dquote> asdf
dquote> asdf
dquote> asdf

I tested it on Quantal amd64 and zsh 5.0.0-2ubuntu1, too.

Any special stuff in your .zshrc?

Hmm, seems to be related to oh-my-zsh somehow. I'll do some more digging.

[Axel Beckert (xtaran)]

Frank Terberg could reproduce the issue. Details follow.

[Axel Beckert (xtaran)]

Ehm, Terbeck, not Terberg. Sorry.
