Source activate fails for anaconda after update in base env

Question

So these things happened:

I want to install tensorboardx and I have no idea that it may be a bad idea to install packages directly in base[or root] environment.
I ran conda install tensorboardx and agreed update to other packages. One of them is conda. (Seems I updated conda in this step)
After that when I run source activate in zsh, I get:/share/apps/anaconda2/bin/conda:17: job table full or recursion limit exceeded. Changed to bash and the same command silently failed.

So the question is how to let my anaconda back to work normally.

conda -V gives conda 4.5.12
Also I remembered the base environment is named root before this disaster.

conda list --revisions gives output:

2019-01-05 17:30:49  (rev 9)
     conda  {4.3.30 (https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/anaconda/pkgs/free) -> 4.5.12 (conda-forge)}
     conda-env  {2.6.0 (https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/anaconda/pkgs/free) -> 2.6.0 (conda-forge)}
     pycosat  {0.6.1 -> 0.6.3 (conda-forge)}
    +tensorboardx-1.6 (conda-forge)

2019-01-05 17:56:46  (rev 10)
     openssl  {1.0.2k -> 1.0.2l (https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/anaconda/pkgs/free)}
    -tensorboardx-1.6 (conda-forge)

uninstall tensorflowx and then update the conda – sahasrara62 Jan 05 '19 at 10:27 — sahasrara62, Jan 05 '19 at 10:27

Thanks for the revision mechanism of anaconda. I ran conda install --revision 8 and successfully reverted the operations, though I still have no idea what happened after I updated conda, possibly something got stuck in a loop.
