Indeed.  And the following isn't parse correctly either:

        foo="one ""two"

Though it *looks* like the code handles this, it doesn't: you'll get
'one ""two'.

Your first case was interesting because it was a more practical example.

I've applied my simple fix for now; if you want to do more thorough quote
handling (ie. use memmove), I'd love to see patches.

Thanks!
Rusty.
