I don't think spaces are valid on either side of the syslog.conf entry.
At least my reading of the man page doesn't suggest that.
Multiple selectors may be specified for a single action by
separating
them with semicolon (``;'') characters. It is important to note,
howev-
er, that each selector can modify the ones preceding it.
Multiple facilities may be specified for a single level by
separating
them with comma (``,'') characters.
The section about the RHS is more wordy, but the only valid seperator
mentioned is a comma. My vote is to change the code, failing that, the
comment in the PR would be a good start.
