And quite often in software that IS (supposedly) prepared to deal with them. 
:-) It periodically happens that we find something in our compiler or 
toolset that mishandles some unusual file name, even after years of fixing 
such problems. I suspect it's more common in Unix/Posix/Linux software where 
such spaces are less common than on Windows.
