Description Michael Shigorin 2010-08-28 16:55:07 MSD 
$ list="a b c"
$ for i in $list; do echo $i; done
a b c
$ rpm -q zsh
zsh-4.3.10-alt6
$ ls -l ~/.zshrc

Reproducible on x86_64 and i586 builds, just in case.  And works as expected in bash:

[mike@pad ~]$ list="a b c"
[mike@pad ~]$ for i in $list; do echo $i; done
a
b
c

Are you suggesting to turn SH_WORD_SPLIT on by default? It's already turned on in sh emulation mode, and zsh isn't sh. Use ${=list} intead.
