I am using Gnu-Emacs on a Sun BSD4.3 and the key mapping that is
normal here is ESC space.  Even though it is not exactly what
you want, maybe if there is no solution forthcoming for control-space,
you could use ESC space instead.  This is a pretty easy sequence
to key since you are still using two keys, just one different, and
in sequence instead of in combination.
