Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.2-15
Severity: normal

The zsh test builtin is incompatible with /usr/bin/test from the
coreutils and with the builtin in bash. In zsh,

  test -n -a -n ""

doesn't output any error message, whereas /usr/bin/test from the
coreutils outputs:

  /usr/bin/test: extra argument `-n'

and the builtin in bash outputs:

  bash: test: too many arguments

Compatibility is important, in particular because the test builtin
was added for compatibility (as the zshbuiltins man page says).
