It's odd that you are fixing one pre-existing case of missing space, but
not all of them.  Should we split the cleanups into a separate patch?  I
already started some cleanups[1], but could respin my patch to cover
more, if desired.

Depending on whether my patch[1] goes in first, fix this to use '0'
instead of '"0"'.
