Just #+begin_src or #+end_src

preceded by blanks, just spaces and tabs.

I think I had it so at some time, but it didn't worked for some reason,
or it was same problem. I don't remember, but I went away from it. I
just tried again; it made no difference. In test.org I still get first
55 blocks processed.

Anyway thanks, I think it is more correct to group it with '(' and ')'.
