I get

"&"

so I think this is invalid.

You have to use 'cmd /c echo "&"'

austin(a)midna:~$ wine cmd /c echo "&"
Echo is ON

On windows, it returns
"&"

It's a valid bug, albeit a minor corner case.

That's incorrect; Unix is stripping your quotes.
The correct test case from the commandline would be something like
$ wine cmd /c echo '"&"'
but the output for that is bizarre:
\"&\"
perhaps we do have a bug.

Using backslashes does the same:
austin(a)midna:~$ wine cmd /c echo \"\&\"
\"&\"

Probably the behavior we want to match is
running the command on Cygwin in Windows.  So:

$ cmd /c echo '"&"'
"\"
'\""' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

So it looks like native parses "&" as two
commands (each consisting of the single char ")
separated by the command separator &.
And when you escape & using ^, 

$ cmd /c echo '"^&"'
"\"&\""

you get the bizarre quoting that Wine's cmd does.

So the bug here, if any, is that & isn't treated
as a (high-enough precedence, perhaps) command
separator when used on the cmd /c commandline?
That's different enough that someone should
come up with a clean bug report and test case,
and close this one.

Just test it from within cmd to not fight with *NIX shell:

------XP:
C:\>cmd /c echo "&"
"&"

C:\>
------Wine:
C:\>cmd /c echo "&"
Echo is ON

If your patches still apply, you could try to submit them on wine-devel for
review.

I did - they were also sent to wine-patches. 

Unfortunately due to work pressures over the last 12 months, I've had no time
to do anything other than follow wine, and I currently have no Linux system.
Whilst I'd like to get back to it, it wont be any time soon. 

Most of the patchset is fine and most could/should go in as-was - the problem
was one patch where I used process monitor to confirm that windows did the same
as I ended up coding (after coding the change in the first place!), but AJ
didnt like it so one of the patches is ineligable for submission - See
wine-devel for more details.

This bug is not limited to "&", should I submit a separate bug report?

wine cmd /c echo "!"
bash: !: event not found

wine cmd /c echo "<"
Path not found

wine cmd /c echo ">"
Path not found

wine cmd /c echo "\"
> [must use Ctrl+c to get out, else it keeps giving you a ">"]

wine cmd /c echo "|"
Echo is ON

wine cmd /c echo "`"
> [must use Ctrl+c to get out, else it keeps giving you a ">"]

wine cmd /c echo """
> [must use Ctrl+c to get out, else it keeps giving you a ">"]

Cheers,
Jake

(In reply to comment #14)
As a start, Martin Wilck has just sent some cmd /c parsing fixes (not yet
applied); see wine-devel for information.
> This bug is not limited to "&", should I submit a separate bug report?
>
> wine cmd /c echo "!"
> bash: !: event not found

As mentioned in the message, bash interprets the bang, not wine. Use '!'
instrad
(i.e. use bash quoting rules).
To check wine behaviour more closely, you should preferably try them from
within "wine cmd"
(mixing wine/cmd quoting can be tricky; e.g. ./wine cmd echo '"!"')
> wine cmd /c echo "<"
> Path not found
>
> wine cmd /c echo ">"
> Path not found
>
> wine cmd /c echo "\"

Those work with Martin's patches applied, tried within cmd

Hopefully they'll be merged soon.
