2007/9/16, Hye-Shik Chang <perky@freebsd.org>: > If you are saying about Python's str.split(), the problem is due > to our libc bug (or feature) which is described many times before, > and Python already includes a workaround for the problem. > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-checkins/2004-August/042343.html 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. Regards, Petr
