st: unzip problems in Stata 11

Greetings! In Stata 10, I can use the unzipfile command without
problems. In Stata 11, I am getting a variety of error messages like
"no variables defined" when I enclose a filename with double
quotations (same command I am using in Stata 10). All I type is
unzipfile "ABC 123.zip", replace
An obvious workaround is to rename all of my zipped files to have no
spaces and then rerun the code. However, I was wondering if there is
an option or an undocumented trick that I might not know about so I
can avoid extra coding. I noticed there were one or two posts a few
years ago about problems with double quotes in MS DOS, but they did
not deal with the unzipfile command. Plus, there is no problem in
Stata 10 so I was wondering why this became an issue in Stata 11.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
