 The exact steps involved to reproduce the bug.
 
 Working on some user requested new fields and "on-change" rules
 If I change the Documentation-Responsible-Party from an existing string to a 
string containing a space, the entire string 
 is set  in Documentation-Responsible-Party and appended in Notify-List, not 
just the part of the string  before the space.
 
 Parts of dbconfig file with the problem, in the two added fields:
 . . . 
 
 field "Notify-List" {
     description "Addresses to notify of significant PR changes"
     text
     query-default inexact-regexp
     textsearch
 }
 . . . 
 
 field "Documentation-Responsible-Party" {
     description "UNIX id of documentation responsible party"
     text
     query-default inexact-regexp
     textsearch
     on-change {
         # Add Audit-Trail entries when this field changes.
         add-audit-trail
         # Add to Notify-List entries when this field changes
         set-field "Documentation-Responsible-Party" { 
         "%S" 
         "$NewValue" 
         }
         append-to-field  "Notify-List" { 
         " %S" 
           "$NewValue"
         }
     }
 }
 . . . 
 
 Your configuration.
     System Environment:
         SunOS servername 5.10 Generic_125100-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V245 
  
 If you encounter a compilation or build problem, it is especially 
 important to mention the operating system, compiler and possibly other 
 build utilities you use.
 gnatsweb has been customized using javascript mainly to group our 300+ 
 categories into 14 groups to easechoosing a category and to allow 
 attachments
 
 More examples in the dbconfig recipes, and a list of available "standard" 
 variables for use in the dbconfig "cooking" would be handy.
