    Problem Text
    This test may fail on all implementations because of an extra
    trailing space in the expected output.

    A conforming implementation will fail this test.

    The test makes an invalid assumption about the term "delimit" in
    POSIX.2. This has been confirmed by a PASC Interpretation request -
    reference PASC Interpretation 1003.2-92 #98.

    The summary is that "delimiting" is interpreted to mean "terminating"
    removing a character from the end of the expected output allows the test
    to pass.
