>Description:
	as mentioned in the man pages, time(1) should accept some
	flags such as "-l", "-p"

	But it complains (tries to execute the flags) when f.ex "-l" is
	given.

>How-To-Repeat:

aaron@meta:~> time -l ls
bash: -l: command not found
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ---- oops!
real    0m0.004s
user    0m0.001s
sys     0m0.002s


HOWEVER: when you type in in:
/usr/bin/time -l ls

everything works as expected.


>Fix:

I personally assume something is wrong in the argv calculation at line
111 of /usr/src/usr.bin/time/time.c or maybe in execvp (child) which would
be really strange.
