FileTest::exists? Not Finding Windows Files with Spaces in Name

Hello,

Please help with the following:

Ruby's FileTest::exists? is not finding Windows files with spaces in
their name. I could use a work-around like grep'ping the result of

'ls

<filename>' (I use Cygwin), but I'm thinking there must be a way to
make FileTest do the work.

Best regards,

Dennis

If this is an issue, it must be particular to cygwin:

irb(main):002:0> File.exists?("C:\\Program Files")
=> true

Do you have some sample code you could show us?
