Argh! Frak … Mac. And a valid use case, too. I would’ve walked John’s name and
shame path here, but ...

I did not think of quotes (thanks, John), so maybe, just maybe, the patch is
trivial. Can you please test the following:
in src/utils/fileanddisk.C toward the end of "void
findLocationOfSelfBinary(string & location)”, you will find
location=bpath.native();
Change to
location=‘“'+bpath.native()+’"';
Not pretty, but if that works for you I’ll take care to get quotes added
properly.
