 If you substitute something like /usr/bin/man for /bin/echo, you can see
 that the program is executed, but with no arguments (i.e. it will print an
 error message "What manual page do you want?").
 
 There's nothing particular about "Hello, world.": using "Hello" with no
 space and no comma causes the same problem.

+Since a few days ago, we honor the UseShellExecute value which means
+that if you don't set it to false, the command is run under *nix as:
+$SHELL -c program args
+and under windows as:
+$COMSPEC /c program args
+
+Under windows it's not needed, but in *nix we have to quote the
+program and arguments like: $SHELL -c 'program args'.
+
+This is fixed in CVS. As a workaround if you don't want to update to
+CVS, set process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute to false.
+
+Thanks!
