A buffer whose name ends with a space character cannot be selected from the
buffer menu.
Which reminds me about another thing: In dired it is difficult (impossible?)
to rename files with \n in there names.
But it is easy to make such files. C-x C-w f o o C-q <RET> <RET>.
I don't blame emacs for that, it is difficult (impossible?) also in shell.
I haven't gone thru the code, maybe emacs actually does 'system("mv")' or
such.
I used perl to rename the file.
