[texhax] whitespace before \end{figure} command

[Brian Papa]

I am using the article class, modified with my own style file.  I've 
traced the problem to the following line in my style file:
\usepackage[nomarkers]{endfloat}%

It appears that if I do not use the endfloat package then I do not get 
any errors. When I do include use of the endfloat package (regardless of 
whether the nomarkers option is specified) and I have spaces before the 
\end{figure} command I get the errors.
