 I'm not sure exactly when this change happened but 0.3.5.8 still works
 with a space in the executable path while 0.4.0.2 fails to launch the
 executable with the same torrc file.

 The following is an example torrc line that no longer works:

 ClientTransportPlugin obfs2,obfs3,obfs4,scramblesuit exec C:\Program
 Files\obfs4proxy.exe

 Is this change documented somewhere? I'd like to keep the executable path
 unchanged if there is a simple workaround
