It works for me.  When I run this shell script:

 

echo '      appl' | od -cx

 

the output is lined up, about as well as it can be:

 

0000000                           a   p   p   l  \n

           2020    2020    2020    7061    6c70    000a

0000013

 

If it's not working for you, please supply a test case

like the above.  We can't reproduce the bug simply by

looking at your output.
