Thanks for taking a stab at this.

However, the patch goes only halfway. If we really want to proof it
against blanks, we need to tweak IFS - and that would still not proof it
against tabs or line feeds in filenames.

As reference, I found David A. Wheeler's article most elucidating:

Would you like to take another, more robust, stab at the script?
