When a filename contains spaces, you're supposed to quote the filename,
not some dubious piece of text of doubtful parentage :)
Besides, the space is a legal character in a filename. Apparently, the
space was put in "Ram Disk:" specifically to help catch programs that
failed to handle spaces correctly.
