Can someone explain why this would make the command wait forever? What is tee waiting for?

echo "test" | sudo tee newfile

What would be a scriptable workaround for such cases?

    My initial guess was that sudo would eat up the echo’d foo as the password. Maybe sudo works differently when invoked via zsh?
