------------------------


The string_list() function, which is used throughout Grid Engine to parse a
string into an array of strings, does not recognise closing quotes.  This means
that everything after the first quote is considered a single argument,
regardless of whether a closing quote appears.

For example, if a script contains the following:

#$ -sync "y" -N Bob

running the script will produce:

% qsub /tmp/auto/examples/jobs/exit.sh
Unable to read script file because of error: invalid option argument "-sync """
-N Bob"

The work-around would be to always divide options with quote onto separate lines.
