If you are curious, it was stepping to the end of the first word in the string, and then
getting stuck on the newline character until everything falls apart around its ears.
At this point d(a character pointer variable) points at <space><tab><newline> and
string[i] is a <newline> while the macro whitespace only returns true if the character
is space or tab. OOPS!
