This is an oversight - I'll fix it :)

Now, you see what you've gone and done, you've said 'latest version' in the
original message, (which was 1.6 - it's been on the WWW site for about two
weeks), but then you've said above that 1.6 does handle spaces. Slightly
conflicting :)

You should _always_ state the version, I don't put 'em there just for
appearance you know.

And BTW, the readme for 1.6 does say that you could have strange anomalies
happen ;^)
