System name:		zonkers
Type and version:	MVAX-II 7.0R
Display type:		PLX

What were you trying to do?
	I specify my X defaults in .Xresources and do an
xrdb -load .Xresources in my .startup.X to load the defaults.
The console reported an error parsing the following geometry
specification line:

	xload.Geometry:                 180x164-180+0

The line parsed without any problem under 6.4.

What's wrong:
	The problem is caused by a single trailing space after
the geometry specification.  Why should trailing white space
cause the specification to fail?  

What should have happened:
