Description should read, "all white space
is removed FROM THE END OF EACH LINE, rather than just
new line characters".

Description:
------------
Each line in the output array returned as the second
parameter of exec() is trimmed so that all white space
is removed, rather than just new line characters.
I found this issue while trying to use the following
command to find all files in the current directory whose
name ends in a space:
exec("find . -name '* '",$output_array,$status);
However, in $output_array the filenames have been
trimmed so that they no longer end in a space.
Reproduce code:
---------------
exec("find . -name '* '",$output_array,$status);
Expected result:
----------------
array(
"file1 "
"file2 "
);
Actual result:
--------------
array(
"file1"
"file2"
);
