Hi.
This is a bug that is easy to reproduce:
------------snip---------
% cat > Makefile
all:
@echo hello
^D
% make
hello
% make foo().
% make
make:.:3: not enough arguments
% make all
make:.:4: not enough arguments
------------snip---------
That's it. Now, make is screwed.
This behaviour doesn't show in bash or sh.
Cheers,
Adrien.

This isn't a bug; see the syntax for function definitions in the zshmisc
manual. "make foo()." defines two functions called make and foo with the
body ".". This feature isn't often used; it seems to be there to make
it easy to define identical trap functions.

Ha, I've just been told that it isn't a bug, rather a feature, and that
it declared *two* functions, make and foo.
I personally think that this is a *very* bad design choice, but anyway,
I could revert it easily with "unfunction make", as ft told me on IRC.
Cheers,
Adrien.
