parse bug

seems like an error in the sql parser to me:

# create table test (acol smallint[]);
CREATE
# insert into test (acol) values ('{ 0 }');
ERROR: pg_atoi: error in "0 ": can't parse " "
# insert into test (acol) values ('{ 0}');
INSERT 28472 1

the only difference is the trailing " " after the 0;

traditionally atoi ignores only leading spaces, so
insert into test (acol) values ('{ 0}');

should work too.

btw why do you need trailing spaces for??
