I was looking at the file copy problem in version 5.0.14. The immediate
problem is that when invoking the vbox_cat process, the argv array is not
created correctly. Specifically, the program name is omitted and argv[0]
is the first argument to the command. I say "immediate problem" because
the arguments you give to VBoxManage are not handled correctly e.g., the
--target-directory argument is treated as the destination file path, not
just directory.
This is the first time I've submitted a patch, please let me know if it is
not in the correct format or there are problems with it.
Thanks
