for command doesn't handle spaces in filename well!

Bash Version: 2.05a
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
        I was using the 'for' command under bash in a script. It was
operating on an entire
directory of files, like
        for f in *; do .......; done

        I discovered that on filenames with two consequtive spaces in
them, that the for
command somehow 'removes' all but one space.


Repeat-By:
        Try the following code:

echo HELLO>"HELLO  THERE"
echo HI   >"HI     THERE"
for f in H*; do echo $f;done

Resulting Output:
HELLO THERE
HI THERE
