Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.10-11
Severity: important

Under some conditions, history-incremental-search-backward can freeze
in a UTF-8 terminal (e.g. if the user shares his history and uses
different terminals with different locales).

Testcase:

1. Type in an ISO-8859-1 terminal: echo zzé zz
2. In a UTF-8 terminal: history-incremental-search-backward then type z

A patch can be found here:

  http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2010/msg00256.html

Note: the problem can occur even if the user isn't interested in the
command line in question, as the command line can be obtained while
the user hasn't finished to type some word.
