Up until recently, I think there was only one, being /usr/local/ssl/man/man7/Modes\ of\ DES.7. The other two are under /usr/local/ssl/man/man3/. Nothing is broken, but this occurrence (just 3 in ~70,000) is possibly sufficiently rare to maybe merit attention and amendment? To, dunno, Modes_of_DES.7 and similar? This might break things, in which case obviously leave as is. Sorry for mentioning it. In any case, I ask for purely selfish reasons: the spaces screw up an otherwise rather neat script for fiddling about with +R and +S files when achieving a portable version of Cygwin on CD.
