IIRC I got errors when I have tested tramp-test30-special-characters
with leading spaces in file names on w32. Maybe it is just a Tramp
error, but I haven't been motivated enough to debug.

It could be also the case that it is an error in file name primitives on
w32. I haven't checked either (w32 systems are terra incognita for me).

Best regards, Michael.
