The problem is that when you call `focus(lastsel)` from `unmanage`
there is a possibility that lastsel is NULL. In this case `focus` first
first checks `if (!c)` on line 390 and sets `c` to `sel` (line 391).

Fix: RFC says there should be only spaces, while tok accepts tabs,
newlines etc.
Another two bugs.
Lines 70-73:
if(!c || !isspace(msg[1]))
sout("%s", msg);
else {
if(msg[1])
If line 73 is executed, isspace(msg[1]) is true. So it can't be equal
to '\0'. Therefore, condition `msg[1]` is always true.

* Replaced `tok` and `ctok` functions with `skip` and (already
existing, but a little different) `eat`
* Changed parsing of separators ( from RFC) in server
responses. Now tabs are not skipped. Also no more than one space is
skipped. RFC says there
