       Ugh:1. Somebody emails me a Word file with a spacey file name 'Some Document.docx'2. Buggy MUA escapes the space when deciding on the file name to save it as, so now it's called 'Some\ Document.docx'3. libreoffice assumes '\' in its argv[1] must be intended as a path separator, helpfully translates it into '/', and then fails to open the file because 'Some' isn't a directory.Team effort there – no *two* of those together would have caused a failure. It took all three!
