When looking to fix this bug, I noticed in the patch code, that internal
spaces (in the file name) are only allowed it the filename and date are
separated by a \t (tab)

So by changing the patch file into:

--- a/foo bar/file.txt\t
 +++ b/foo bar/file.txt\t
 <rest of patch file>

(where \t is the actual tab)

fixes my problem.
As the code explicitly tells about the tab, I suppose this bug/problem will not 
be fixed...
(I added this comment to hopefully help others who are having problems with 
spaces in the file names)
