Re: zsh not accepting commandline args at end of command

[Eric Smith <es@fruitcom.com>]

Nope according to this:
[eric@apple ~]  $ which ls
/bin/ls
[eric@apple ~]  $ ls /tmp -f
ls: -f: No such file or directory
/tmp:
ssh-XXUIWy1q  v235390
[eric@apple ~]  $ exit

back to bash:
eric@apple:~$ which ls
/bin/ls
eric@apple:~$ ls /tmp -f
./  ../  .X11-unix/  .font-unix/  ssh-XXUIWy1q/  .X0-lock  v235390/

Some differences in strace FWIW:
