Bug description:  strange exec behaviour on multiple quotes

Description:
------------
in the code below
$cmd='"C:/Programme/MySQL/MySQL Server 4.1/bin/mysql.exe"
--execute=status';
works, but
$cmd='"C:/Programme/MySQL/MySQL Server 4.1/bin/mysql.exe"
--execute="status"';
does not. The error message is:
failed with return-code: 1
Der Befehl "C:/Programme/MySQL/MySQL" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.

This is very strange, since running the command in a cmd box in Windows
works in both cases.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$_output=array();               
$cmd='"C:/Programme/MySQL/MySQL Server 4.1/bin/mysql.exe"
--execute="status"';
exec($cmd,$_output,$_retval); 
if ($_retval==0) {
   echo 'and done !<br />';
}       else {
echo " failed with return-code: ".$_retval;             
foreach($_output as $_outputline){
  echo("$_outputline<br />");
}       


Expected result:
----------------
exec should work in both cases

Actual result:
--------------
failed with return-code: 1
Der Befehl "C:/Programme/MySQL/MySQL" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.
