Hi!
We (Autoconf) have a big problem with Zsh 3.0.8. You know it is
shipped on Darwin as /bin/sh. But this version does not understand
${1+"$@"} properly. We use this instead of "$@" to work around a bug
which still exists today in many many constructors' /bin/sh, so we
can't departure from it.
But then, I have no choice than systematically rejecting /bin/sh if it
turns out to be zsh 3. Unless there is some magic that can make
${1+"$@"} work properly? Thanks!

It's already broken at this point!
Grrr. What the heck is happening with your system :(
Please, try to run this shell-script:
--====-=-=
Content-Type: text/x-sh
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=args.sh
#! /bin/sh
set dummy 'arg1' 'arg 2' 'arg
3'
echo "1."
for i in "$@"
do
echo "{$i}"
done
echo "2."
for i in ${1+"$@"}
do
echo "{$i}"
done
set ${1+"$@"}
echo "3."
for i in "$@"
do
echo "{$i}"
done
--====-=-=
Just run it with your /bin/sh (which should be zsh). Thanks!

This (z)sh is weird, I'm telling you.
> Please, try to run this shell-script:
OK, here's the result from /bin/sh (zsh 3.0.8)
1.
{dummy}
{arg1}
{arg 2}
{arg
3}
2.
{dummy}
{arg1}
{arg}
{2}
{arg}
{3}
3.
{dummy}
{arg1}
{arg}
{2}
{arg}
{3}
The newer zsh (4.0.4) and bash both give:
1.
{dummy}
{arg1}
{arg 2}
{arg
3}
2.
{dummy}
{arg1}
{arg 2}
{arg
3}
3.
{dummy}
{arg1}
{arg 2}
{arg
3}
