Can you please just provide a complete example that doesn't work?  We have
lots of manifest files with spaces in them.  This isn't enough to help
reproduce the problem.

It really doesn't make sense to be treating this as a SUPER SERIOUS MUST BE
FIXED bug, and push off requests for help.  Doesn't it make sense that it
would be easier to debug if someone can look at the input files aapt is
getting to know what it is trying to do?  If it isn't important enough for
you to spend some of your time helping diagnose the problem, why should
anyone else believe that it is actually that important?

Anyway, I have other work I need to do today, so I'll be looking forward to
the bug being updated with a repro case.  (Or would love to have a patch for
aapt submitted that fixes it!)
