Hi,
I'm launching a process via the (valid) command below
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
nix-shell -p sbcl --run 'sbcl --dynamic-space-size 3072'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
via
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(start-process "test" (get-buffer-create "test") "nix-shell" "-p" "sbcl" "--run" "'sbcl --dynamic-space-size 3072'")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and it returns the error below:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/tmp/nix-shell-13722-0/rc: line 3: sbcl --dynamic-space-size 3072: command not found
Process test<1> exited abnormally with code 127
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Is this a bug or am I missing something? Thanks.

I think you don't need the '..' quotes: the ".." quotes already
specify a single string.
