its a characteristic (ie a bug) of the old ram-handler. Under 1.3, the
ram-handler has a real volume node, and you'll get the name
RAM DISK (unless of course you've relabeled your ram: disk)
The name RAM DISK was carefully chosen to break programs that couldn't
deal with spaces in volume names :-)
So upgrade to 1.3 and your problems will be solved. I hope.
