Re: [Chicken-hackers] windows paths with spaces

[Jim Ursetto]

I'm reluctant to apply this patch for two reasons.

1) (compile-file) still does manual quoting on mingw32 (see the "crapshell" variable) and I'm not convinced this is correct with the quoting change in (qs).

2) The API docs for (qs) explicitly state that it escapes metacharacters with backslash on UNIX, so someone could be using it to do exactly that.

If someone can convince me these are both non-issues I'll definitely apply it.

Hi,

I did a test with the latest chicken from the development repository and it's working fine. Thanks.

Can this fix be applied to the stability branch as well?

Sorry for the (very) late reply.

Can you try out whether the fix for CVE-2013-2024 fixes it?
That's changeset 58684f69572453acc6fed7326fa9df39be98760e.

Cheers,
