Hi Jukka,

so it seems this is a locale issue.

(1) What is your locale and what is isspace(180) in that locale?

(2) Can you reactivate the test, i.e., remove the exit 0, and instead add
   LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
and see if that helps?

If so, I'd still not consider this as a good solution, because chktex should
certainly not depend on the current locale when deciding if a character is a
space character.  Or should it????
