Comment:

 Discussion on the mailing list indicates that you were trying to do this
 from Java, and the problem is a result of the Java exec interface not
 understanding quoting (perhaps).

 The examples you give work fine from a /bin/sh command line on Linux or
 Windows.

 If you can provide a more specific example that fails, please re-open the
 bug.
