gv and filenames with spaces

[Dave Howorth <dhoworth@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk>]

There seems to be a problem with gv and filenames with spaces in them.
I don't use it regularly but when I open a file whose name contains a 
space (e.g. 'junk space.pdf') and then try to print it, I see an error 
dialog:

  Failed to scan file /tmp/gv_whatever_junk space.ps.tmp

(why do programs not let you copy messages from errors and instead force 
you to type them again!) and the following appears on stdout:

Error: /undefinedfilename in (space.ps.tmp)
Operand stack:

GNU Ghostscript 7.07: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1

I guess there's a configuration file somewhere in the debian package 
that is missing some quotes. Does anybody happen to know what the fix is?

I run Woody
$ gv -v
gv 3.5.8 (debian)
