Environment

Version: jruby 9.0.4.0 (2.2.2) 2015-11-12 b9fb7aa Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.74-b02 on 1.8.0_74-b02 +jit [linux-amd64]

OS & platform: Ubuntu 15.10 (GNU/Linux 4.2.0-27-generic x86_64))

Expected Behavior

jruby should accept the command line arguments containing the substring "%20n" as a normal string.

Actual Behavior

Immediate failure and abort:

> jruby -S script.rb -a "Foo%20nar"
*** %n in writable segment detected ***
Aborted (core dumped)

The script contents can be anything, e.g. a script containing puts "Hello, world!" alone will trigger this behavior.

Could we recreate this on Windows command line? What should be "%20n" in the invocation?

I don't see this:

$ jruby -v                         
jruby 9.0.4.0 (2.2.2) 2015-11-12 b9fb7aa Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.66-b17 on 1.8.0_66-b17 +jit [darwin-x86_64]
$ cat script.rb                                                                                                                                                                   
puts "Hello, World!"
$ jruby -S script.rb -a "Foo%20nar"
Hello, World!

I also tried creating a file with that as a substring, and it wasn't a problem. But that's why I'm asking if Windows works. I will try it on KUbuntu eventually

seems to happen on Linux, 9.0.5.0 is affected as well. but master seems to be doing fine already :

$ bin/jruby -v
jruby 9.1.0.0-SNAPSHOT (2.3.0) 2016-03-08 dc21f62 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.72-b04 on 1.7.0_72-b14 +jit [linux-amd64]

$ bin/jruby -S script.rb -a "Foo%20nar"
jruby: No such file or directory -- script (LoadError)
