Well, it's hard to know exactly what the problem is here, despite the
volumes of text produced, because the error message doesn't include the
command it tried.
I assume we can fix this particular problem by having rm return 0 if there
aren't any operands and -f was supplied. That fix is attached.
If it's somthing else, there is code in bash, used by the loadable
builtins, to return a special status that causes the execution code to fall
back to the disk version of a command. The `rm' loadable already uses it
for `-i'. We just need to add it for additional cases.
