I believe this statement is incorrect.  Running the test script given  
in the PHP bug below, it strips the whitespace on my username and I  
login properly.  However, directly connecting to my IMAP server  
(Dovecot 1.2), I can verify that it does NOT strip whitespace from the  
username (in other words, Dovecot is RFC compliant).

FYI - the PHP people closed the bug and said it is a problem in c-client.
