Whitespace after "Re*:" colon sometimes disappearing

something strange is happening (again), and these hick-ups might be a symptom of something worse

What happened to the usual whitespace after the colon?

I already had to fix one of my posts from yesterday, because I blamed myself for erasing it by accident.

But these cases are accumulating.

that's what's happening at the end of add_re_to_title `return "@parts";` with `@parts` holding the re-part and the original title. My theory: The monastery is running on multiple servers and it seems that global vars like `$"` are not in sync. This might also explain some weird effects we had since the last migration. Question: The bug in question can be easily fixed by `return join " ",@parts;` [download] shall I patch or do the gods want to check the root problem first?

shall I patch or do the gods want to check the root problem first?
