I fired up the same test as last night and the results were the same. I then removed the 'noglob' from the alias and everything worked fine. I put the 'noglob' back and ... everything remained fine :-| But this replicates the strangeness of the thing, it seems unpredictable which is why I smell the same issue -- some sort of microsecond delay of some sort such that the results would flicker as they have. Bart mentions that piping involves simultaneous activity which sounds like a good place for a bad delay.echo "Now is the time for all good men" | noglob test1 'the time' I was wondering whether the noglob could introduce a small timing difference where the LHS command would terminate earlier.
I'll run it with 'set -x' as Bart suggests once it starts to misbehave again. I've always had a talent for breaking things. Anyway this is not zsh's problem I think.
