Re: I suppose I should be happy ...

Hi Richard, I never even looked for bug reports, I found this while trying to deal with an issue one of our customers reported. I then tracked through the code and read cmd.exe /? After I read what it said it did for quotes, I created a fix and tested it. I guess none of the Windows developers saw the bug report. Scott Richard Quadling wrote:

A patch was supplied in August 2007 and there were many discussions in the bugs by many users. http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34671 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35961 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25361 (There may be others.)
