Thanks for testing!  I applied your patch.

On my system `call-process` correctly handles the case when args have
spaces.  For example I tried to open a file called "/tmp/foo bar.pdf"
with Okular, a PDF viewer for GNU/Linux, with

    (call-process "okular" nil 0 nil "/tmp/foo bar.pdf")

and it works like a charm.  Could you please test on Windows?

Bye,
