Details:
When TMPDIR is set to a directory that contains a space, the help function
fails:
>> help abs
'abs' is a built-in function from the file libinterp/corefcn/mappers.cc
-- abs (Z)
Compute the magnitude of Z.
The magnitude is defined as |Z| = 'sqrt (x^2 + y^2)'.
For example:
abs (3 + 4i)
=> 5
See also: arg.
Additional help for built-in functions and operators is
available in the online version of the manual. Use the command
'doc <topic>' to search the manual index.
Help and information about Octave is also available on the WWW
at https://www.octave.org and via the address@hidden
mailing list.
>> mkdir ("/tmp/Temporary Files");
>> setenv ("TMPDIR", "/tmp/Temporary Files");
>> help abs
could not open /tmp/Temporary: No such file or directory
could not open Files/octave-help-4m3MOb: No such file or directory
'abs' is a built-in function from the file libinterp/corefcn/mappers.cc

This bug is reproducible on any operating system, but is probably more likely
to affect Windows users than GNU/Linux or Unix users.
