Steps to reproduce:

i noticed effective tld_names.dat has trailing whitespace on some lines and none on others.  To be nicer to machine parsers (who may not realize that ".it " is supposed to be ".it", the trailing whitespace should be removed.  The attached patch should resolve things, or you can use GNU sed like this:

sed -i -r 's/\s+$//' effective_tld_names.dat
