This was indeed the problem that I was talking about. Lynx deals
poorly with a blank argument. :-/
The "more correct" solution I've seen is:
exec foo ${1-"$@"}
Some shells do get a simple "$@" right; most I've used don't.
I don't think I've used any that get ${1-"$@"} wrong.
That's wonderful. I'm ashamed that I didn't think of it myself. I'll
change it immediately.
