This problem turned out to be a couple of dashes that were
added to oneliner() in MM_VMS.pm. Here is a patch that fixes the
problem:

$switches = join ' ', map { qq{"$_"} } @$switches;

}
End of Patch.
Note that - at the end of a VMS shell command line
implies that the command will be continued on the next line
(MMS and MMK do not handle that well BTW).
With that in place I obtain mmk test results of:

8 tests and 87 subtests skipped.
Failed 2/43 test scripts, 95.35% okay. 7/648 subtests failed, 98.92% okay.
%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort
and my expectation now is that the patch that John Malmberg posted in:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/vmsperl/2005-09/msg00003.html
will address those two specific failures.
I am curious, where did the -- in onliner() come from? It was not there in
MM 6.17 for example.
