I'm not sure I'd go so far as a bug, but it is 'behaviour which is
occasionally irrirating' having been bitten by it before. Personally,
I'd like a command line flag that says 'take argv[] as separate
parameters, do not fold spindle or mutilate, and pass those
completely unchanged to exec on the remote end as separate
parameters'.
