Some things we can do:

1. Change the logic to use the last space in the line, not the first one.

2. *If* the line has a tab, use that as the separator instead of a
    space, but if there's no tab, use the last space as above.

3. Same, but look for a NUL byte.

i.e.:

  ptr = strrchr (line, '\0');
  if (!ptr) ptr = strrchr (line, '\t');
  if (!ptr) ptr = strrchr (line, ' ');

This is backwards compatible, yet allows for bizzare file names.  The
only time you'd need a '\0' is if the SFN filename contains both a
space and a tab.
