Can't refer to RealPlayer(tm) G2 LiveConnect-Enabled Plug-In (32-bit) by using its name. Works as expected in Opera and with other plug-in names.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check that you have corresponding Real Player plug-in (go to about:plugins, I have latest Real Player 10.5 (6.0.12.1483))
2. Type javascript:alert(navigator.plugins["RealPlayer(tm) G2 LiveConnect-Enabled Plug-In (32-bit)"]); into address bar.
Actual Results:  
undefined

Expected Results:  
[object Plugin]

They have decided to put a space at the end of the plugin name, so it's "RealPlayer(tm) G2 LiveConnect-Enabled Plug-In (32-bit) ". If you want to check yourself, open about:plugins and look at the page source (the plugin name is in a <div>...</div>). Maybe you should also try to iterate through the plugins array and check for "^RealPlayer" (regular expression) in navigator.plugins[i].name to avoid this, since i don't know how the situation looks like on other platforms and as you already noticed the situation seems to be different in other browsers.
