I had a few oh-my-zsh plugins running, I edited my .zshrc file to a more basic setting and "emacs -nw" now works. I will see if I can narrow down which plugin is the problem.

I also use ZSH but can't reproduce the crashes. Can you try bisecting
the ZSH init files, see (info "(zsh)Files"), to find out if there's some
specific setting triggering the crash?
