Fix: PATCH: Round 2: RH initscripts backward compatibility

[Jim Knoble]

Circa 2001-Feb-18 03:26:03 -0500 dixit Jim Knoble:

: I've cleaned up Pekka Savola's newly revised sshd.init and additional
: sshd-functions and modified them to work they way i've been arguing
: they should work.
: 
: Compatibility functions are defined in ./contrib/redhat/sshd-functions,
: which should get installed no matter what release of Red Hat Linux
: OpenSSH is getting built for, to be consistent across releases.

There's a problem in the localized() function in
./contrib/redhat/sshd-functions (contained in the patch i submitted
earlier), where trailing whitespace disappears under bash-1.14.x.

The attached patch, applied after the earlier one, fixes the problem.
