           Summary: Wine does not trim trailing spaces from LoadLibrary
                    calls
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20030813
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-misc
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com
        ReportedBy: frederic.howell at powertechlabs.com


Because of a bug in one of my Windows programs, I was issuing

h=LoadLibrary("frq                  ");

This loaded frq.dll on Win2K, which is what I wanted.

However on a fake-windows install of Wine-20030813, the call fails.  I see from
the module trace's that wine tries to load 
"frq                  .dll", 
which does not exist.  I could work around this by copying frq.dll to 
"frq                  .dll".

This does bring up the question of which dll would get loaded in Win2K if I had
both frq.dll and "frq                  .dll"  It turns out that frq.dll still
gets loaded (if one is to believe the Output window in VS).  If no frq.dll
exists, but only "frq                  .dll" exists, then the LoadLibrary call
fails(!). My conclusion for Win2K is that trailing spaces should always be
trimmed for LoadLibrary, if no extension is present in module name.  If the
extension is present, then Win2K will load the module with spaces in the filename.
