A lot of things on OS X suffered this bug early on. Most of the problems were because people slapped together shell scripts and didn't think about re-quoting arguments in the script. It's a feature that I wish K&R had not left out of Unix when they took all the icks out of Multics. The Multics equivalent of the shell was smart enough to requote arguments by default. You had to ask to have an argument 'exploded'.
