In GNU Emacs 18.52.3 of Tue Apr 11 1989 on omaha1 (berkeley-unix)

If I place the following text into an empty C-Mode buffer :

foo()
{
char s = "grep -i -l \"%s\" ../istrfile/*.HELP > KWSearchFnames";
}

I then place the cursor at the opening brace {.  When I hit M-C-Q (indent-c-exp)
It changes the string into :

foo()
{
    char s = "grep -i -l \"%s\" ../istrfile /*.HELP > KWSearchFnames";
}


Notice that this garbles the interior of the string.
