Well whatever, I was just trying to fix the currently broken behavior. 
As for adding the "bogus" ' ', that's keeping in line with the comment 
on the line before:

         /* NOTE: Do not remove the trailing space characters.
            They are required to clear the line.  */

I just tried to do the least invasive patch that would keep the amount 
of characters constant.
