What were you trying to do?
Nothing, really... I just broke zwrite by looking at it.
What's wrong:
I was frobbing w/ zwrite and noticed that:
zwrite ""
will send a message to class message, instance personal, recipient *.
What should have happened:
zwrite shouldn't do that. I gave it an empty string as a recipient
and it sent a zwrite to everybody subbed message,personal,*.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
In fact, zwrite states this in it's usage info:
recipients must be specified unless -c or -f specifies a class
other than the default class or -i or -f specifies an instance
other than the default or urgent instance
I didn't specify a recipient, class, nor an instance. It shouldn't have
sent a zwrite; it should have given me a usage error.
