Output of bash dirs command vs. emacs


The output of the 'dirs' builtin does not escape space
characters:

bash> dirs
~/program files ~/src/emacs
bash> 

This breaks the M-x dirs function of both cygwin emacs
and NT emacs.

I believe this to be a bash bug: There is no way for
emacs (or anything else) to parse the output of dirs
and disambiguate "space used as delimiter" vs. "space
in the directory name".
