[bug #4327] ftpfs confused by certain directory names

[Leonard den Ottolander <savannah-bounces gnu org>]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #4327 (project mc):

The third paragraph in comment #4 is a incorrect combination of 2 thoughts.
What I meant to say is:

1) We can't determinate whether the date string is 3 or 4 fields long if the
file name contains spaces so we need to fix our input vfs_parse_filedate(). A
different function is needed if we know the date field has 4 elements.

2) If we want to be able to parse uids and gids with spaces in them we need
to use a non-sequential parsing algorithm (look for date field first and work
forward and backward from there). Currently uids and gids are supposed to be
numerical so we don't have such a problem.
