Command not found error with "=" prefix

Command not found error with "=" prefix

[Ismail Donmez]

Hi,

If you prefix a command with "=" and the application returns an error then 
zsh also displays a command not found error:

λ echo $ZSH_VERSION 
5.1.1

λ =true
λ

No error, fine.

λ =false
=false: command not found 

false does exist though:

λ type -a false
false is a shell builtin
false is /usr/bin/false
false is /usr/bin/false
false is /usr/bin/false
false is /bin/false
false is /usr/bin/X11/false

Also reproducable with other programs:

λ =clang -fuse-ld=lld2 test.c -lm
unrecognized reloc 23
clang-3.8: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see 
invocation)
=clang: command not found

You've got something else going on that's affecting this.  Some hook
function, OS dependence...?  Try "set -x"?

Argh! Its the stupid command-not-found helper. Thanks for the set -x tip!
