The unmodified code produces this: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\subwcrev.exe" .. ..\Modules\getbuildinfo.c "E:\coding\py3k\PCbuild\Win32-temp-pgi\pythoncore\\getbuildinfo2.c" whereas my patch produces this: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\subwcrev.exe" .. ..\Modules\getbuildinfo.c "E:\coding\py3k\PCbuild\Win32-temp-pgi\pythoncore\\getbuildinfo2.c"" I pasted those two lines on the command prompt. The first results in the error "'C:\Program' is not recognized ...... ". The second one does the right thing. It would be great if someone could run ProcMon on a "normal" system and see what command is created.
