Comment #1 on issue 103 by camillob...@gmail.com: Mac VM Strange Bash Argument Expansion http://code.google.com/p/cog/issues/detail?id=103
my bad. I use an intermediate bash script to launch the VM since you cannot simply symlink to the VM binary under OSX.
Of course that bash script expanded the parameters again. To avoid it do `set -f` or #!/bin/bash -f
