Selecting element by attribute value fails when a space exists before closing bracket.

Description
See jsFiddle example:
http://jsfiddle.net/marcofucci/rRtAq/
If you try to select an element based on an attribute value, and leave an empty space directly prior to closing bracket, no value will be fetched.
Deletion of the space will remedy the problem.
This may not be considered a bug since adding enclosing quotations around the variable will also solve the issue, which is the proper syntax, but the given code sample works fine on prior versions of jQuery.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report.
This is a regression introduced with jQuery 1.4.4 in this Sizzle commit where the regexp is too greedy and includes the whitespace into the match for the attribute value. So input[name=/test ] becomes input[name='test '] instead of input[name='test']

This does not seem to be a problem in jQuery git. http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/qwcTA/5/
