 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.
