 Replying to [ticket:1042 ege]:
 > Running r.statistics using a path to GRASS DATABASE folder containing
 blank spaces (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\OCU\Desktop\grassdata)
 produces the following error:

 > After moving "grassdata" to C:\ r.statistics works.

 This should only affect the sum, average and distribution aggregates; the
 others use popen() rather than a temporary file.

 Hopefully fixed in 6.5 by r41957. Suggest back-porting to 6.4 for RC7.

 Not applicable to 7.0, which doesn't use temporary files.

 It might be worthwhile someone doing an exhaustive analysis of calls to
 system() and popen() (and the G_* versions) in case any similar issues
 remain.
