    I get something rather different
    
    % su `perl -e 'print "A" x 100000000'`
    zsh: fatal error: out of memory
    
    After 5 seconds the shell just dies, I get a connection closed by remote host
    (this is when I ssh into the box).  The system still functions though. 
    After Ilog back in, the command is not in .zsh_history for some reason and I can't
    recall it pushing the up arrow.
