Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.9-1
Severity: normal
File: /bin/zsh4

zsh doesn't like getting # at the command line:

  lakeview ok % # do nothing
  zsh: command not found: #

Note that every other shell on my system (except csh, which I didn't
test) handles this fine:

lakeview ok % /bin/bash bash-3.2$ # do nothing
  bash-3.2$ exit
  lakeview ok % /bin/dash
  $ # do nothing
$ lakeview ok % /bin/ksh93
  $ # do nothing
$ lakeview ok % /bin/pdksh $ # do nothing
  $ ^D
  lakeview ok % /bin/mksh
  $ # do nothing
  $ ^D
  lakeview ok % /bin/posh
  $ # do nothing
$
Note that fixing this will also (hopefully) fix the following bizarre
behavior:

  lakeview no % echo $SHELL # do nothing
  /bin/zsh # do nothing

I was expecting simply "/bin/zsh".
