Yes, that doesn't look right.  The problem is no doubt that the input line
has a single word, so something gets confused.

If you try a record with one blank and 1234567890 you get the correct
result, the 0 is split off.  If you do the same with two leading blanks (12
characters) you get the stripped record with no split.
