Ediff: spurious space not seen

[Karl Eichwalder]

In GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386-suse-linux, X toolkit)
 of Son Jan 21 2001 on Purbach
configured using `configure  --with-gcc --with-pop --with-system-malloc 
--prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --infodir=/usr/share/info 
--mandir=/usr/share/man --sharedstatedir=/var/state --libexecdir=/usr/lib 
--with-x --with-x-toolkit=lucid --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include 
--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib i386-suse-linux'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Ediff doesn't show the space between "$t/*." and "sty" (example files
appended); diff shows:

ke@tux:/var/tmp > diff -c ke.sh k2.sh    
*** ke.sh       Fri Feb 23 01:31:14 2001
--- k2.sh       Fri Feb 23 01:31:11 2001

*** 1,4 ****
! for f in $t/*. sty; do
      echo $f
  done
  
--- 1,4 ----

      echo $f
