I don't know if this is a bug, but it doees look strange.

emacs -q

type in *scratch*:

    (command-execute 'eval-expression nil)

hit LFD.

You get:

    You have typed LFD, invoking eval-print-last-sexp
    .........
    You can now type
    Space to try it once
    ....................
    
I hit SPC and get:

    You have typed LFD SPC, invoking eval-print-last-sexp
    .............
    
If I type SPC again, I get:

    You have typed LFD SPC SPC ...
    
and so on.

First, eval-print-last-sexp is not disabled---eval-expression is.
Second, why doesn't it get satisfied with my typing SPC to it?
Thanks.
