Proposed patch to fix the issue

Hello,
I'm attaching a patch that fixes the bug. The problem was, the function ignored when there is a blank (space, etc.) character on the beggining of the line. 
However, I'm not entirely sure if the iswhite() call in the -2 branch of the switch is correct... or if the behavior there is what the program should do when a complete multibyte character was not parsed.
Comment 3 Martin Bříza 2012-07-24 11:10:35 UTC 
Sorry, I meant isblank(), not iswhite().
Comment 4 Ondrej Vasik 2012-08-20 11:47:33 UTC 
I think it should be fine - definitely better than before. Closing RAWHIDE.
