I run into this problem when using mutt, which utilizes isspace to
separate tokens in
e.g. list of recipients. Then I've found the workaround for Python,
saying this problem
should be fixed in FreeBSD6 - but it's still present even in 7-current.
I do believe it would be better to fix isspace() than introduce
workarounds into every application.
