mc will not exit in the last directory browsed if the
username contains spaces.  The following error
messages occur:

/tmp/mc-User Name/mc.pwd.2572
cat: /tmp/mc-User: No such file or directory
cat: Name/mc.pwd.2572: No such file or directory

ls on the /tmp directory under Xterm shows the
subdirectory as

     mc-User\ Name/

while WinXP Explorer shows the directory correctly as 
/tmp/User Name

Changing to the directory and then issuing 'pwd' shows

/tmp/User Name.

The mc-wrapper.sh, but the following change fixes the
problem:  
Change 

MC_PWD="`cat $MC_PWD_FILE`"

to

MC_PWD="`cat "$MC_PWD_FILE"`"
