bug#10511: 24.0.92; Eshell can't handle spaces in eshell-windows-shell-file

[Lars Ljung]

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

"C:\Program Files\GNU Emacs 24\bin\emacs.exe" -Q
M-x eshell
test.bat
c:\Program: command not found

The value of eshell-windows-shell-file is "c:/Program Files/GNU Emacs
24/bin/cmdproxy.exe". A simple workaround is to modify this variable by
adding a backslash before each space.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
c:/Program Files/GNU Emacs 24/etc/DEBUG.

Thanks.  I've committed a patch to trunk which should fix this and a
couple of similar parts of Eshell.
