[bug #64360] [gropdf] does not correctly handle white space after 'w' command

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #64360 (project groff):

[comment #15 comment #15:]

If the layout of groff's output language hasn't changed in 30+ years, there's
arguably a de facto API separate from the published one.  For that matter,
groff didn't publish CSTR #54 and deviates from it in various ways.  So
whether it is or isn't an API change may depend on which angle you're looking
at it from.

> and groff's other output drivers are not tripped up by the change,

A good dose of Postel's law is often advisable.
