"Complete chaos" is a pretty good description, especially since MS 
decided to make the default directory paths for many things have 
embedded spaces in them.  And to change the rules from version to 
version of the OS.  And it's not just the cmd line that's inconsistent; 
  some exec function variants liberally parse unquoted names looking for 
some file that happens to match the first few 'words" of the string.

I once debugged a customer problem (without actually seeing the 
machine), and told tech support to ask him if he had a file in the root 
directory called "program.exe."  I turned out to be right, and the 
customer was sure I must have hacked into his machine.

There was a bug in our code (missing quotes), masked by the liberality 
of the function I mentioned, that wasn't visible till such a file existed.

The customer symptom?  Our code complained that the linker couldn't be 
found.
