RCS issue with Windows username with spaces in it

When utilising the pre-compiled RCS for Windows NT (rcs 57 from http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/trinkle/RCS/)

There is a problem if your NT Username contains a space
For example my login is "Phil Hurrell" (without the speech marks)

When you attempt to check in a file, the RCS command fails as it appears to not recognise username with spaces.

$ ci hello.world
hello.world,v  <--  hello.world
ci: invalid identifier `Phil'
ci aborted

You can force ci by using -wlogin  option:
            ci -wphil hello.world
hello.world,v  <--  hello.world
enter description, terminated with single '.' or end of file:
NOTE: This is NOT the log message!
>> Hello world
>> .
initial revision: 1.1
done

 but this is not a solution as when you come to check out co -l also suffers from same problem

co -l hello.world
hello.world,v  -->  hello.world
co: invalid identifier `Phil'
co aborted


Is there any workaround or planned solution for this?  (I'm in large company and cannot change the login credentials!)

Thanks for any help !
