On Eunice v3.2, isprint returns false for space, in violation of the
documentation and the behavior of most Unixes (Unices? Uni?).
This means that you can't include a space in any input to hack, which makes
it difficult to use the wand of wishing, among other things.
The fix is trivial: in hack.tty.c, change the test
else if (isprint(c)) {
to
else if (c == ' ' || isprint(c)) {
Please, no flames about Eunice. It wasn't my choice.
