While the spacing may really have reeked, and havoc may actually have been wrought, the saying in this case is usually, "wreck havoc", for which I sfaik the correct past tense is "wrecked havoc".


While I easily found dictionary entries for "wreak havoc", "play havoc" and "cry havoc", I didn't find one for "wreck havoc." In fact, given the definition of havoc (mayhem, destruction, etc.) the expression "wreck havoc" doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Do you have any citations?
