[cp-patches] classpath-inetlib gnu.inet.nntp PairIterator patch

[Tim Valenzuela]

When using classpath-inetlib 1.1.1, I found that some servers will use 
tabs instead of spaces when returning a LIST result. The RFC does 
specify that commands may use tabs, but does not state about results. 
This patch fixes crashes on 3/21 servers that I tested (when using the 
NNTPConnection.listNewsgroups() function).

The patch should be applied to
inetlib-1.1.1/source/gnu/inet/nntp/PairIterator.java
