Using quotes or not around the filename, it still crashes.

trunk does too.

1.8.7 does not:

type "s[s"
puts "hi"

ruby -v "s[s"

This doesn't reproduce on OSX. If I had to guess, prolly not on any unix/linux.

Passed: 1.9.2-p0, 1.9.1-p129, 1.8.6-p399, 1.8.7-p302

Nor on Linux, this seems strictly related to argument parsing on
Windows as this works:

ruby -I. -ve "load 's[s'"
ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18) [i386-mingw32]
hi

I think this must be a bug.

Here is a patch for the trunk:

I actually ran across the problem by mistyping.

rspec spec/ as rspec s[ec/

ruby [foo
crash

ruby fo[
ruby: No such file or directory -- fo[ (LoadError)

ruby fo[o
ruby: No such file or directory -- fo[o (LoadError)

ruby a[o
crash

ruby f[o
ruby: No such file or directory -- f[o (LoadError)

ruby foo[bar
ruby: No such file or directory -- foo[bar (LoadError)

Seems to happen if [ is in positions 1 or 2 and follows particular characters like s or a as above.
Encoding issue?
