           Summary: System.Diagnostics.Process discards escaped spaces in
                    arguments

System.Diagnostics.Process discards escaped spaces in arguments. For example:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start ("echo", "foo\\ bar");

outputs:

foobar

but bash (and AFAIR older versions of Mono) output:

foo bar

Every other char I tired to escaped worked fine: " ' \ ( )


In addition, quotes are handled strangely:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start ("echo", "\"foo\",\"bar\"");

outputs:

foo ,bar

but bash (and AFAIR older versions of Mono) output:

foo,bar
