[lug] Fixing filename characters...

[kenw at ihs.com]

Ummm, with that many files you may need to use some variation of xargs
or find or ls in order to not overflow the command line buffer.

as in:

ls | while read file;do

substituting for the "for ..." line.

Sorry, typical case of hitting enter and then immediately after, your
forehead on the wall.
