Just a note:

this doesn't work with bash 3.2. I think they altered the way of trimming variables in this version.

on systems with bash 3.2 installed, i get [master!linus-2.6/vm/vm]$ with the example above.

on systems with bash 3.1, it works properly.

unfortunatelly, i am not so good in bash scripting, so it will take some time for me to fix it.

Sincerly
