[tex-live] Bug in pdflatex: doesn't compile file with 2 adjacent spaces in the name

[Zdenek Wagner]

The same in linux with (hopefully) all engines:

[zw at centos tmp]$ echo '\end' > a\ \ a.tex
[zw at centos tmp]$ cat a\ \ a.tex
\end

[zw at centos tmp]$ pdftex a\ \ a.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016) (preloaded
format=pdftex)
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `"a a.tex"'.
<*> "a  a.tex"

(Press Enter to retry, or Control-D to exit)
Please type another input file name: null
(/usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/generic/knuth-lib/null.tex)
*^C! Interruption.
<*>
