There have been two bugs that we cannot seem to reproduce:

1. John Carr logged in a few times and found that in his first window
   the shell was looping.  One time, we forced a core dump and found that
   it was in readdir() from hash().  This only affected John's "login
   window" and none of the other windows.  After a while, his login
   started working (no changes).

2. One time, when I was typing commands, my history event numbers were
   not going up; I was stuck at 593.  So, commands like !! were
   returning the last recorded event, rather than my previous command.
   I think this started happening after ctrl-c'ing out of a foreach
   loop, but I can't reproduce it.
