Summary:                    [patch] STRFTIME in globals using commas returns
incorrect value
Description: 
I'm trying to declare a few date-related global variables to ease my
dialplan.  When I declare the following in the [globals] context of
extensions.conf, I get unexpected results:

YEAR = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y)}
MONTH = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%m)}
DAY = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%d)}
TIMESTAMP = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)}

If I evaluate these variables in the dialplan later, using

exten => 7777,n,Verbose(${TIMESTAMP} - ${YEAR} - ${MONTH} - ${DAY})

My output is as follows:

    -- Executing [7777 at phones:3] Verbose("SIP/2625-0000d5f0", "Tue Jul 13
11:08:42 2010 - Tue Jul 13 11:08:42 2010 - Tue Jul 13 11:08:42 2010 - Tue
Jul 13 11:08:42 2010") in new stack
Tue Jul 13 11:08:42 2010 - Tue Jul 13 11:08:42 2010 - Tue Jul 13 11:08:42
2010 - Tue Jul 13 11:08:42 2010

However, the following line:

exten => 7777,n,Verbose(${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)} -
${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y)} - ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%m)} -
${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%d)})

evaluates with what I expect:

    -- Executing [7777 at phones:4] Verbose("SIP/2625-0000d5f0",
"20100713-110853 - 2010 - 07 - 13") in new stack
20100713-110853 - 2010 - 07 - 13
