#17760: Torsocks doesn't quote variables, will choke on spaces and special
characters in paths
--------------------------+---------------------
     Reporter:  teor      |      Owner:  dgoulet
         Type:  defect    |     Status:  new
     Priority:  Medium    |  Milestone:
    Component:  Torsocks  |    Version:
     Severity:  Normal    |   Keywords:  easy
Actual Points:            |  Parent ID:
       Points:            |    Sponsor:
--------------------------+---------------------
 The script that launches a command using torsocks checks a lot of paths
 without quoting them.

 This means that paths with spaces will cause errors, and paths with
 special characters may have unintended effects.
