| This gives: 
| 
| |ARG: {--include}
| |ARG: {/Users/ab/Desktop/autoconf-2.53/lib}
| |ARG: {-d}
| |ARG: {-v}
| |ARG: {-f}
| |ARG: {-t}
| |ARG: {TRACE1:}
| |ARG: {Hello}
| |ARG: {world!}

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!
