Follow-up Comment #3:

Well one big problem with your example is that the io package is calling


system (sprintf ("gzip -c -S=gnumeric %s > %s", ...


so this is not a valid test and not applicable here. Of course that's going to
fail due to lack of quoting, but not the same as this bug.

The only example I've been able to come up with demonstrating something like
this bug is


>> gunzip ("/path/to/dir with spaces/file.gz", "/path/to/otherdir");
error: movefile: no files to move
error: called from
    movefile at line 92 column 5
    unpack at line 261 column 15
    gunzip at line 49 column 5


The uncompress succeeds, but the file is not moved to the other directory.

Any other examples of failures with these functions and paths containing
spaces?
