Bug #3612
closedwindows: unable to run path with spaces on it anymore.
Description
=begin
With 1.8.6 and 1.9.1, this worked:
IO.popen("c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore")
I assume it's a bug that it not work anymore, but am actually ok either way since...it's a bit surprising to not need quotes, since windows does on the command line.
Let me know either way (if it is expected or not).
This behavior is also present in 1.9.2 branch.
Thanks.

This is intended behavior.
Please do not use the accidental behavior of old rubies.

I assumed the accidental behavior was expected, but apparently it was not. Thanks for the clarification.
