Re: basename whitespace bug

   when executed with file name containing spaces, basename returns only
   first part of file name (until space).

Try quoting the string.

address@hidden:~$ basename "/home/ams/frob ni.cate"
frob ni.cate

Space is treated as a seperator of arguments on GNU and Unixoid
systems.
