My problem had nothing to do with zsh versions.. Recently, I found a truer "bug" in SuSe's startup files: /etc/profile sets alias ls='eval /bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS'. Appart of the question whether it is sensible to expand $LS_OPTIONS every time you do ls, this distroys arguments with spaces. (confession: I do not fully understand why) Anyway, my solution for that was alias ls='ls `echo $LS_OPTIONS`'. Dan. (Nadav, it seems I'm following you everywhere..)
