[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#691886: zsh: ". file" in .zshenv gets arguments from the original script

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.17-1
Severity: normal

Consider a script "script1" containing only the following line:

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

and a script "script2" containing:

echo Args: "$@"

The .zshenv file contains:

. ~/script2
. ~/script2 blah

I get the following:

xvii% ./script1 ab cd ef
Args: ab cd ef
Args: blah

The first line shouldn't show any argument because an empty list of
positional parameters was provided in the ". ~/script2" line!
