If a WWID contained spaces, the rlookup code wasn't able to look it up
by its user_friendly_name, since the code was only reading the wwid till
the first space.  It now reads to the end of the line.

Please, don't.

We keep on changing this one back and forth about every year.
(The original patch was by you, back in 2008. Then I changed it back because it breaks compability with existing configuration files. Now you go and change it _again_).

The real problem here is

'If the WWID contains spaces'

The WWID _never_ should contain spaces. I pretty certain we can't handle WWID with spaces in the bindings file; eg we don't have any quotation mechanism implemented.
So can't we just settle on 'The WWID must not contain spaces' ?

Cheers,

Hannes
