SplitWords can hang the server (POL097-2006-10-29)

Hi,

if you use SplitWords with a custom delimiter on a string that begins
with that delimiter, it will permanently hang the server ("No clock
movement"). You can use the following text command to reproduce it:

program testbug()
var teststring := "* ";
var testarray := SplitWords(teststring, "*");

print (testarray);
endprogram

It will not hang if teststring is " *" or " * ".

reviewed and problematic part found in code. but I can't test it here.

this part should hang server too if u use teststring := "abc ** def" (double * without any char between). can u check it for me? ;o)

thx, Shinigami

You are correct, this also hangs the server.
