Dear Zsh workers,

while rereading Tom Christiansen's why.not.csh at
<URL:http://language.perl.com/versus/csh.whynot>, I tried his example

  time | echo

which gives a nonsensical error message when using csh. However, zsh
3.1.9 dumps a core[1] on this one (FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT). I guess there is
a better way of signaling the error :)

  Sam

Footnotes: 
[1]  The error comes from built-in time, system's echo can be used instead
