taskwarrior plugin autocompletion produces segfault

[chmue]

When I use the autocompletion function from the taskwarrior plugin (task [tabtab]) zsh crashes with a segmentation fault.

I am using zsh 5.0.2 (archlinux) and an up to date version oh-my-zsh.

If you need additional debug info, I am happy to help.

While this may be caused by a broken taskwarrior completion (which definitely has some issues, i.e. error message if there are no tasks yet), this is definitely an issue in zsh. zsh must not segfault independent how weird or broken a tab completion function is. It also has nothing to do with oh-my-zsh as it happens without, too.

It though seems to happen only with a recently compiled zsh, so it may depend on the used compiler.

@chmue Had the same issue with zsh 5.0.2 on archlinux. Adding a line with _task at the end of .zshrc keeps zsh from segfaulting on task [tabtab] and the completion also seems to work.

By the way, the segfault has been fixed in the zsh git repository and will be part of the next zsh release.

Obsolete? The segfault might not happen again but the first completion is not triggered. Adding a _task statement at the end of the _task file will make it work, as @pdvyas suggested.
Pushed #3573 to fix.

At least the segfault has been fixed in zsh in September 2013 in the commit zsh-users/zsh@844e569.

@mcornella Yes, as far as I am concerned the issue is obsolete. I'm using the fix @pdvyas suggested and it works very well for me. Sorry for never posting back.

strange, i'm using ubuntu 14.4 zsh 5.0.2 and just installed oh-my-zsh and getting same error when tab completing.
