I'm attempting to use a '@' character as one of the inputs to the 
command line, and it doesn't appear to be being parsed correctly.  
Either the argument starting with the '@' doesn't get parsed through 
at all (it just doesn't show up when stepping through argv), or it 
appears as garbage.

For one of my projects I'd like to be able to use the '@' character in 
this way, but I can't seem to do it without explicitly surrounding 
that argument in double quotes.  What's going on?
