+There seemed to be a problem where all arguments to a shell command were
+quoted before being executed.  As in the following example:
+
+ cat('</etc/passwd');
+ ls('*.pl');
+
+really turned into:
+
+ cat '</etc/passwd'
+ ls '*.pl'
+
+instead of:
+
+  cat </etc/passwd
+  ls *.pl
+
+and of course, this is wrong.

+I have fixed this bug, it was brought up by Wolfgang Laun [ID 20000326.008]
