#917: command-line arguments are not always correctly parsed
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: roothorick | Owner: lennart
Type: defect | Status: new
Milestone: | Component: daemon
Keywords: |
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
The pulseaudio daemon appears to assume that whatever is calling it has
fully broken up the argument list by spaces. This assumption is unsafe
(note the third execve):
{{{
roothorick@modestmonster ~ $ head -n 1 ~/opt/bin/jackpa
#!/usr/bin/pulseaudio -nD --exit-idle-time=-1 -F
roothorick@modestmonster ~ $ strace -eprocess bash -c ~/opt/bin/jackpa
execve("/bin/bash", ["bash", "-c", "/home/roothorick/opt/bin/jackpa"], [/*
