For one of my test runs, I see the following error in monitord.log

2011-08-12 13:04:57,888:nllog.py:log:165: ERROR: ts=2011-08-12T20:04:57.888830Z event=netlogger.analysis.modules.stampede_loader.Analyzer.linedataToObject level=Error msg="unable to process attribute argv with values: --verbose --remove --dir \"

I think the offending event is this

corbusier:run0093 vahi$ grep verbose *static.bp

The argv is properly quoted.
This should be handled correctly.
