The problem is caused by a single trailing space after
the geometry specification. Why should trailing white space
cause the specification to fail?
This isn't a bug; the resource file format specification has changed
for R4, and the specification says that any spaces at the end of a
resource line are counted as part of the resource value. See Appendix
A of the X11R4 Xt Intrinsics manual for more information.
