Expected Behavior

I expect that the following code would behave the same as common ruby, and print "hola" to the screen.

system(Gem.ruby, "-e", "puts('hola')", :chdir => Dir.pwd)

Actual Behavior

Instead, I get

sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Without the :chdir option, it works as expected.
