Funny, I wish for +3 crysknife all the time and it works fine.  There is
an option "rest on space" that may inadvertantly cause this to work or
not, but I'm not sure.  I call my dog things with spaces in it and it
works also.  I would look at the source (If you have it) to see if there
is anything system dependent.
