>Description:
Command line arguments which contain whitespace but are in between
double quotes are broken when passed to daemons on startup.
# inetd.conf entry - results in usage() being spewed to log
www stream tcp nowait httpd /usr/pkg/libexec/bozohttpd bozohttpd -C ".py /usr/pkg/bin/python"
when bozo parses w/ getopt() the resultant optarg is '".py'
# command line - works properly
bozohttpd -b -C ".py /usr/pkg/bin/python"
when bozo parses w/ getopt() the resultant optarg is '.py /usr/pkg/bin/python'
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to use package www/bozohttpd from pkgsrc which has such an argument -C
