Re: global -u can't parse file path with spaces.

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hello,
I have recognized reappearance of the bug in my UNIX too.
I have made a patch to fix it. It works well in my UNIX.
If possible, would you please try the patch?
It will be included in the next release.

Thank you for your report.
