 On the whole, serialized data comes in just fine. But we ran in to an
 issue the other day where serialized is damaged on import.

 The case is where serialized data contains a space before a carriage
 return. During import the serialized data is truncated. I'm not sure
 exactly where the problem lies, yet, as it seems it might actually be a
 problem inside `fgets()`. The obvious place to look as at the `rtrim()`
 (line 121 of wordpress-importer.php) that is done on each line but our
 test case failed even when removing this from the importer.

 We haven't been able to investigate much further but I wanted to get the
 conversation started here.
