[python-win32] Wanted: subprocess horror stories

I'm doing some work on the Windows-specific bit of the subprocess model.
In particular, the quoting requirements of strings getting passed to the
COMSPEC shell, but anything else which crops up.
To start with I've committed patches originally worked up by Gabriel
Genellina but there's more to do there especially as regards embedded
quotes etc.
So... I'd like to hear about the hoops you've had to jump through to get
subprocess.Popen/call working with awkward strings, spaces, quotes,
redirections, special characters, unicode filenames. Whatever. I'll then
add them into the test cases as I build. I'm targetting 3.2 but willing
to port to 3.1 & 2.7
