In the shell create a new file:

$ touch ~/2010-02-18\ foo

Then in Emacs:

C-x d ~ RET

and move down to the line file you just created. Only the "foo" portion
is recognized as belonging to the file name. Trying to visit the file
with RET then gives:

dired-get-file-for-visit: File no longer exists; type `g' to update
dired buffer

In GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.4.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0)
 of 2008-09-16
