Kernel.system does not handle parameters correctly
--------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-1678
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-1678
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules
Affects Versions: JRuby 1.0.2, JRuby 1.0.1, JRuby 1.0.0
Environment: Windows XP, Ruby1.8.6 i386-mswin32
Reporter: Chris O'Connor
Attachments: echo_params_to_file.bat, system_command_bug_test.rb
When using the system call passing in a command to run and parameters like
system('somecmd.exe', '/switch:a,b,c', '/another=output.txt')
the parameters passed to somecmd.exe are parsed/handled incorrectly. Basically
it seems to replace the commas in the second parameter with carriage returns
and does the same with the equals sign in the third parameter. So you end up
with somecmd.exe getting passed in 5 args instead of 2.
Attached is a unit test that uses a dos batch file to illustrate the issue.
