 What about this line [*]?
 
 "
 A directive composed of one or more white-space characters is executed
 by reading input until no more valid input can be read, or up to the
 first byte which is not a white-space character which remains unread.
 "
 
 I think this is what the NetBSD test developer was shooting for originally.
 
 FWIW I did print out the value previously and it was (char)0, or '\0'.
 
 Thanks!
