See my other post in this thread where strace shows @ handling is not involved,
as the script directory and name are normalized and converted to a win32 path
correctly, but child_info_spawn::worker does not appear to quote args with
spaces (or apostrophes) when building the command line, despite the comment near
the top of the function.
It is not clear where this quoting is expected to be done: it looks like
child_info_spawn::worker may do this itself when a script is invoked as
"cmd|command /c script" with argc == 3, but may be expecting a called function
to do this for other cases, as for a cmd script with no args and argc == 1.
