 I have narrowed the issue down to a reproducible case.
 
 With Zsh 4.2.1 and 4.2.4, Zsh will hang when GDB runs the requested
 command (i.e. /bin/ls).  The execution runs as:
      /usr/local/bin/zsh -c exec /bin/ls
 
 Besides Zsh being the shell used, the shell needs to run a backtick
 command in .zshenv.  Example:
      TESTING=3D`date`
 
 I do not know why this only happens when called via GDB.  Running the
 command from the command-line returns without any obvious problems.
 
 I was unable to reproduce this with /bin/tcsh or /bin/sh by adding the
 above setting to .login (or .tcshrc) or .profile respectively.
 
 With Linux, GDB and Zsh do not exhibit this problem, so I am unsure if
 it is Zsh's or FreeBSD's bug.
