in /etc/zsh/zshrc.local
alias d='dirs -v'

after that a function d is loaded in ~/.zshrc (d function from nikolai)

but how is this able to create a loop?

Huh?!

# jump between directories

  d(){
    emulate -L zsh
    autoload -U colors
    local color=$fg_bold[blue]
    integer i=0
    dirs -p | while read dir; do
      local num="${$(printf "%-4d " $i)/ /.}"
      printf " %s  $color%s$reset_color\n" $num $dir
      (( i++ ))
    done
    integer dir=-1
    read -r 'dir?Jump to directory: ' || return
    (( dir == -1 )) && return
    if (( dir < 0 || dir >= i )); then
      echo d: no such directory stack entry: $dir
      return 1
    fi
    cd ~$dir
  }

-> Are you sure you don't have that stuff inside your personal
configuration (outside of grml's zsh configuration) - overriding
grml's d()-function?

% which d
d: aliased to dirs -v

ii  grml-etc                    1.0.16
ii  grml-etc-core               0.3.23

Gebi, what's the output of 'which d' (because it works for me)?
Which grml-version are you talking about?

d should print the dirstack, but in recent grml versions didn't work anymore.

% d
dirs:5: maximum nested function level reached
Jump to directory:
