Aha.
Alright, I cannot reproduce my original problem anymore, even on the
machine with the space in the user name where it occurred originally.
Now I'm using getenv("USERPROFILE") as an ingredient to construct the
absolute path to the file(s). Either that is helping somehow, or the
original issue was a false alarm triggered by something else altogether.
Thanks for all the effort
