It has nothing to do with the program being exec-ed. The bug is in the
old implementations of /bin/sh. If you're on Debian, you don't need to
worry about it. There is *no* version of Debian which has a /bin/sh
which has this bug. Only legacy commercial Unix systems have it.

*sigh* zsh....
Well, once again, there is no version of Debian that uses zsh as its
/bin/sh, so you should be OK here. But if you really want to use the
case $# workaround, I won't say you're wrong.
