PATH fails with non-existing directory..

[max@xxxxxxxxx (Max R. Andersen)]

Hi!

Im a rather new user of zsh, so bair with me if this is 
a well known "feature" :)

Im using zsh-3.0.5 and the problem is that zsh cannot
find commands if PATH contains non-existing path names :((

Can this be true ?

% path=/usr/bin/
% ls
bin info man src
% path=/usr/bin/:/nonexisting/name
% ls
zsh: command not found: ls

Every other shell(sh,bash,tcsh) handles this without any error :(

What can I do ?
