From what I can see, line 771 of admin.lib.php needs to be changed from - 

            if(trim($_POST['name'])=="" or !eregi("^([a-z0-9]+([:space:][a-z0-9]*))$",trim($_POST['name']))) {

to 

            if(trim($_POST['name'])=="" or !eregi("^([a-z0-9]+([[:space:]][a-z0-9]*))$",trim($_POST['name']))) {

I.E [:space:] to [[:space:]]

Although a nicer regex which allows a more liberal name might be nice? I don't know.

I tested with the following code - 

<?php
print eregi("^([a-z0-9]+([[:space:]][a-z0-9]*))$","Andy ")?"ANDY!":"NO ANDY :(!"; 
print "\n";
?>

Sorry - 

   <?php
   print eregi("^([a-z0-9]+([[:space:]][a-z0-9]*))$","Andy Gimblett")?"ANDY!":"NO ANDY :(!"; print "\n";
   ?>

was the test code. I just took off Gimblett as I was playing with it.
