Subject: 30.0.50; wrong return value of `split-string-shell-command'
Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2023 22:54:54 +0800

I often get wrong return value from `split-string-shell-command', for
example:

  (split-string-shell-command "ffmpeg -i aaa.flv -ss 3 -vf
  \"fps=10,scale=320:-1:flags=lanczos,split[s0][s1];[s0]palettegen[p];[s1][p]paletteuse\"
  -loop 0 bbb.gif")

will return value of:

  ("[s1][p]paletteuse -loop 0 bbb.gif")


Is this a bug, or am I using it wrong?

Bug.  It doesn't support quoted semi-colons.
