Someone else will have to step up to the plate for this one.  I just
looked at run-tests.sh, and the command in question is wrapped in
single-quotes for bash's benefit, which should keep it from really
seeing the enclosed double-quoted strings and parentheses.

I'm still suspicious of that error string you sent out --- it really
looked like bash (or LW) thinking that your string should be interpreted
as a filename...

Question:  what's the surrounding environment?  Linux? MacOSX? Windows
with Cygwin?  Something else?

Would you consider emailing a lispworks patch for run-tests.sh?  If we
could apply it to the repo (i.e., even if it doesn't work on LW, if it
doesn't /break/ any of the other lisps), then people could rally round
to debug it.
