As expected, it fails on Windows 7, AFAIU because quoted "*" is still
expanded by the globbing code in test-system-quote-child.exe:

  for input = |*|: system() command failed with status 3: 
.\test-system-quote-child.exe "*"
  for input = |*|: popen() command failed with status 3: 
.\test-system-quote-child.exe "*"
  for input = |*|: CreateProcess() command failed with status 3: 
.\test-system-quote-child.exe "*"
  for input = |*|: system() command failed with status 3: 
.\test-system-quote-child.exe "*"
  for input = |*|: popen() command failed with status 3: 
.\test-system-quote-child.exe "*"
  FAIL: test-system-quote.sh

But I don't think you should quote '*' or test its quoting, see my
other message.
