Details:

Due to this lossage in GSString.m (intValue_c, and similarly for
intValue_u):

      unsigned  len = self->_count < 32 ? self->_count : 31;
      char      buf[len+1];

      memcpy(buf, self->_contents.c, len);
      buf[len] = '\0';
      return atol((const char*)buf);

If the string contains more than 31 leading whitespace characters, zero is
returned instead of the correct value.
