Don't put leading newline on numeric strings

Subject: NeXT fails one test due to atoi

pragme/constants has a test that does the equivalent of:

    print " \t\n1234" == 1234 ? "ok" : "not ok";

This test prints "not ok" on the NeXT. Here's some background how the
NeXT behaves with several leading whitespaces.

    koenig@franz:/M/extra/sources/perl/perl5.003_97% perl -le '
    print " \t\n1234" == 1234 ? "ok" : "not ok";
    print " 1234" == 1234 ? "ok" : "not ok";    
    print "\t1234" == 1234 ? "ok" : "not ok";   
    print "\n1234" == 1234 ? "ok" : "not ok";   
    '
    not ok
    ok
    ok
    not ok

I'd recommend the following patch:
