Could something in one of your path directories
accidentally have gotten a name starting with '-' ?
(or full name '-')?

Surprising things can happen depending on how an
app rejects an unexpected option, or tries to use it :)

BTW: If you can't delete a file named '-'
     try emacs dirmode. IIRC emacs seems to see
     anything and be able to delete it.

Do you have any scripts that are both sourced and executed?
If so, are they doing return or exit respectively or
something trickier as intended?
