Will you PLEASE learn to give complete examples, rather than always
this "I saw a thing; is it a problem?" kind of mail.

Maybe the following is relevant, how should I know what you doing.

Functions that Create Subprocesses

   All three of the subprocess-creating functions have a `&rest'
   argument, ARGS. The ARGS must all be strings, and they are supplied
   to PROGRAM as separate command line arguments. Wildcard characters
   and other shell constructs have no special meanings in these
   strings, since the strings are passed directly to the specified
   program.
