The question is, should the whitespace even be stripped?  If the disk 
has a space in its serial number, then shouldn't it be recorded in the 
metadata with the space?  If the space is supposed to be stripped then I

can see the isspace() behaving incorrectly on control characters, but it

seems to me that if the disk reports a space, the metadata should have a

space in it as well.

We will need a reply from Heinz on this.
