>Description:
About vi recover script in /etc/rc, this problem has been submitted by Mr. Kojima
and Peter has committed already, but it still remains unsolved.

Quoting filename(s) does not make sence, because it is splitted by space before then.

>How-To-Repeat:
case a) /foo is executable and user root can rm -f /foo: 
% echo a > '/var/tmp/vi.recover/vi. foo'

case b) user root can rm -f /foo: 
% touch /var/tmp/vi.recover/recover. foo'

>Fix:
a) Change the working directory to /var/tmp/vi.recover or use full path, and
it can't remove a file "/foo". However, it is no more than a temporary step.

b) Use "ls" and replace white spaces with some charcters.
   e.g.)
	SPACE => /s
	TAB => /t
then restore as before and quote word(s) in "for" block.


Probably there are better solutions than above.
