It's a blank. Have a look:

$ echo $PATH | od -ta
0000000   c   :   /   o   p   t   /   v   i   s   u   a   l  sp   c   x
0000020   x   /   2   0   0   3   /   b   i   n   :   .   :   /   u   s
0000040   r   /   l   o   c   a   l   /   b   i   n   :   /   m   i   n
0000060   g   w   /   b   i   n   :   /   b   i   n   :   /   c   /   W

Sure. Unfortunatly when writing scripts for others you can't rely on
proper path names (i.e. without whitespace).
