ah of course, yes.  tex is only expanding looking for the first non
acceptable token, so the number of \noexpands goes up one at a time
rather than going up in powers of 2, as typically needed in an edef.

so I should change pdftex.def to always add space and three \noexpands
and an \@empty between the size spec and the file name, so that

\includegraphics[xxx=yyy]{depthcharge}

will work.

It might even get in the release planned for 1998/12/01...
