The bug has been introduced during column(1) rewrite. The function
read_input() need to skip leading space only temporary to detect empty
lines, but the rest of the code has to use the original buffer (line).
I've tried to fix one of the symptoms by 5c7b67fbbf
(alter), but this solution is unnecessary and too complex.
Changes:
* don't ignore leading space
* remove unnecessary stuff introduced by 5c7b67fbbf
* fix regression test with incorrect separator
