Issue with run.exe and PWD with spaces since last update (Cygwin 1.7.21)

Greetings, All!

Sorry, it doesn't "trim" anything. The line was from earlier guess, before I
started to run more tests.
> In a nutshell, the issue is this:

> $ mkdir "/a b"
> $ cd "/a b"
> $ ls -l "$SYSTEMROOT/System32/notepad.exe"
> (just to confirm that the file actually exists)
> $ run "$SYSTEMROOT/System32/notepad.exe"
> Error pops up:

> ---------------------------
> Run.exe
> ---------------------------
> Error: could not start C:\Programs\CygWin\a b

> ---------------------------
> OK
> ---------------------------

> $ cygcheck.exe -f /bin/run.exe
> run-1.2.0-1

> $ cygcheck.exe -c run
> Cygwin Package Information
> Package Version Status
> run 1.2.0-1 OK

Reverting to previous version of package doesn't help.
