--- Comment #5 from Marc A. Pelletier <[email protected]> ---
This particular bug is actually triggered by qsub evaluating arguments through
a shell when it really shouldn't; the bug may or may not be apparent depending
on the amount of quoting before the command line reaches it -- relying on a
specific behaviour is bound to be troublesome.

It's not possible to have jsub just blindly add a level of quoting since that
may simply end up overquoting the arguments.  The maintainers can add extra
quoting when appropriate, though that makes invocation more brittle than it
should.

The "proper" solution is to not rely on the number of shell evaluations
arguments will go through before ending up on the exec node; either by
providing any arguments through a script (and submitting /that/) or by passing
arguments through a file.

Marking "WONTFIX" since the bug is in qsub and there is no plausibility that
upstream would even consider a change that would break every user of gridengine
and introduce incompatibilities with Oracle's version.
