Yup. When you execute a print statement with a comma at the end it
doesn't output the space, it simply sets a flag reminding it that there
should be a space before the next item on the same line. If the next
character out is a newline then the space flag is reset, but in this
case the newline was provided by the input, so you get a space at the
start of the next output.
