There needs to be a *CLEAR* policy on when spaces are and are not stripped!  
This type of bug would be murder to track down!  Spaces are typically 
stripped from configuration files, and to have ONE variable type in the 
config file behave differently is an *unbelievably* poor design.

Was this intentional, or just how it turned out to be?
