Summary:                    [patch] func_string FILTER contains an infinite loop
Description: 
Hi,

func_strings FILTER() contains an infinite loop when you're using
characters
above \x7f or invalid character escapes (e.g. \xgg).


Dialplan:

Set(var=abc "dëf)
NoOp(var = ${var})
Set(filtered=${FILTER(\x30-\xff,${var})}) ;; no wrapping
NoOp(filtered = ${filtered})
Set(filtered=${FILTER(\x30-\x10,${var})}) ;; wrapping 
NoOp(filtered = ${filtered})
Hangup()

Output:

Set("var=abc "dëf") in new stack
NoOp("var = abc "dëf") in new stack
WARNING[21708]: func_strings.c:466 filter: Range wrapping in
FILTER(\x20-\xff,abc "dëf).  This may not be what you want.
<-- Infinite loop

Expected output:

Set("var=abc "dëf") in new stack
NoOp("var = abc "dëf") in new stack
Set("filtered=abcdëf") in new stack
NoOp("filtered = abcdëf") in new stack
[2010-09-27 15:25:14] WARNING[23206]: func_strings.c:466 filter: Range
wrapping in FILTER(\x30-\x10,abc "dëf).  This may not be what you want.
Set("Local/+31852100586 at osvpi_world-1268;2", "filtered=abcdëf") in new
stack
NoOp("Local/+31852100586 at osvpi_world-1268;2", "filtered = abcdëf") in new
stack
Hangup("") in new stack



I've patched func_strings.c to add a couple of (unsigned char) casts, so
that
ac != c2 is actually false at one point. Otherwise ac loops from 0 to 255
while
c2 is negative.

I've also added a backwards incompatible change of setting c2 to c1 when a
parse error (invalid character escape) occurs. Otherwise I'd get the
aforementioned warning when using a range that ends at \xff.

    Specifically when you're using characters above \x7f or invalid
