FreeBSD Port: apache-1.3.28 - error in installation

I've encountered what I think is a bug in the Apache installation
procedure. I've reproduced the problem on multiple systems.
When upgrading from Apache 1.3.28 to 1.3.29 on FreeBSD4.9-R, the
Makefile suffers a fatal error when chmodding the files in
www/data-dist - this error only seems to occur when the files have a
space in the name. As a space is a valid character in a UNIX filename, I
suspect that perhaps the code used to initiate this chmod procedure
needs to be slightly modified to handle proper UNIX filenames.
I don't know if anyone has reported this behaviour yet, but no one I
encountered on IRC seemed to have experienced it - I thought I should
bring it up.
Thanks for your time,
Beryllium
