#266: Unable to backup table when quotation marks used in the name

I am running pgAdmim 1.12 on WinXP SP3 but this issue was observed in
previous releases also. When trying to do a backup of a table which has
quotation marks in its name or in schema name then getting error:

(example1 quotation marks in schema name)

C:\Program Files\pgAdmin III\1.12\pg_dump.exe --host XXX.com --port 5432
--username XXXX --format plain --data-only --verbose --file "C:\moja.sql"
--table "TT_settings".moja "TT_dudulu"
pg_dump: No matching tables were found
pg_dump: *** aborted because of error

Process returned exit code 1.

or
(example2 quotation marks in table name)

C:\Program Files\pgAdmin III\1.12\pg_dump.exe --host XXX.com --port 5432
--username XXXX --format plain --data-only --verbose --file
"C:\cwtest2.sql" --table n_dms."CFX" "TT_dudulu"
pg_dump: No matching tables were found
pg_dump: *** aborted because of error

Process returned exit code 1.

To bypass this problem I can manually run script with added surrounding
quotation marks around the access path and escaping chars included in the
name:

for the first example:
"\"TT_settings\".moja"

for second example:
"n_dms.\"CFX\""
