I almost always type "run z" to invoke z.  This always gives me a separate
window (which you may or may not want) and leaves my original CLI free
so I can do two things at once.  And I never get the problem you're
seeing.  Typing control-D merely causes the message "**BREAK - CLI"
to appear in my other CLI's window when the editor exits, not bad at all.
