I have a case where adding a space in a place where it's
not supposed to matter makes a program work.
wgroleau$ diff ~/bin/GEDCOM_DB ./tempGCDB
1c1
< #!/usr/bin/perl -w -CSD
---
od -xc revealed that the extra space is indeed a (hex 20)
regular space and not a UTF-8 construct.
Without the extra space, it refuses to run on v5.8.0 built for
alpha-netbsd 1.6.2_STABLE and it crashes (segmentation fault/bus error)
on perl, v5.8.1-RC3 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level 7.7.0

Truth often suffers more from the heat of its defenders
than from the arguments of its opposers.
