[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49718] Octave crashes on print/saveas etc when installed on a directory with parenthesis

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #49718 (project octave):

The reporter is running Microsoft Windows.  From what I remember, this issue
has happened before and it isn't Octave's problem per se.  It is the fact that
when printing we use gl2ps to get to an intermediate format of eps, and then
use ghostscript to further transform the intermediate into the final output
format.  It is the sub-process call out to a shell to invoke ghostscript which
I believe has problems.

The simplest solution has always been to just install Octave in a directory
without whitespace or any other questionable characters.  That's why I'm
interested in whether our installer is now defaulting to installing Octave in
an incorrectly named directory.  It shouldn't do that, but if the user
manually selected an install directory then we would have to honor that
choice.
