By doing this silly thing:

	$ mkdir '/var/tmp/a"b c/'
        $ ln -s /bin/sh '/var/tmp/a"b c/shell'

and then adding

	SHELL_PATH='/var/tmp/a"b c/shell'

after we source "test-lib.sh" in t6030, I see this breaks when the shell
parses to figure out what parameters to call test_expect_success with.
