Description Karla Callaghan

modifyApplicationParameters() is inserting a leading blank in the cmdlineargs, 
resulting in argv[0]=" " for the launched app on Windows.
Problem not seen on Linux because the cmdlinearg has some extra processing 
that strips any spaces.

A workaround is now in place in launcher_md.c, that strips the leading white 
space prior to a Windows launch, as is done in Linux launch.

Leaving the bug open with 4.2 target so that the modifyApplicationParameters() 
code can be reviewed and fixed.

modifyApplicationParamters now does not add leading blanks.

Vishnu had to roll-out the change as the use of PREPEND in a JUnit test caused a crash - the difference between two offsets was a -1 and malloc didn't like that.  Since any leading spaces are still being stripped by the PC just before launching, it was safer to roll this out until there's time to investigate this problem.

Retarget to future since there is no impact to user as code is already stripping out the extra space before launch.

Transferring ownership of new agemt controller issues with no specific target date to Mikhail for consideration in future releases.
