String Array Bug!

I found another bug (hidden feature)! Take a look at the code snippet below:

PROGRAM:

    Type
        TStr10 = String[10];
    Var
       CPUName : Array[0..5] Of TStr10 Value
                    ('Unknown','80186','80286',
                     '80386','80486','Pentium');
    Var
         CPU : Integer;
    Begin
        For CPU := 0 To 5 Do
            WriteLn('*',CPUName[CPU],'*');
    End.


OUTPUT:
    *Unknown *
    *80186 *
    *80286 *
    *80386 *
    *80486 *
    *Pentium *


For some reason, there are SPACES after CPUName! I am using GPC 970420 for
DJGPP 2.01.
