    I believe this is a feature of ksh88.  If you want to turn it off,
    look in sh/edit.c near the end of ed_expand().  In the last #ifdef
    tenex section, ' ' is appended to "out".  You could also experiment
    with #undef tenex  (it is turned on if you are making ESH or VSH), but
    this may get rid of other features you want.
