    _______________________________________________________

Details:

using ubuntu 6.06 w/ default grub 0.97 installation

when there is trailing white-space on the line
default        saved
in menu.lst, the savedefault command has no effect and the default is not
updated.

not sure you will call this a bug, but extra white-space is an easy enough
mistake to make, the behavior is not expected, and it took a long time to
guess the problem.

thanks much,
rob
