 Linux 2.4.18 / Redhat
 >Description:
 lib/autoconf/{general.m4,status.m4} all have lines of the form 'cd $variable' 
which does not correctly handle the case in which the variable contains spaces. 
 Such lines should be replaced by 'cd "$variable"'.  This situation actually 
arose while trying to install GNOME in a directory that had a space in it, 
during a line 'cd $ac_popdir'.
 >How-To-Repeat:
 
 >Fix:
 Just add appropriate quotes to the m4 files.  Patch is attached.
