xlat failure in 2.1.8 (worked in 2.1.6)

[Stefan Winter]

Hi,

after an upgrade from 2.1.6+ (a GIT version shortly after 2.1.6) to
2.1.8, we see failed mschap xlat on some exotic passwords.

After some tests, we think that either the space character (" ") or the
single quote ("'") cause xlat to fail.

The basic use scenario is a mySQL DB backend which pulls a NT-Hash for
the user. Input is PAP, so rlm_pap calls xlat:NT-Hash for the input, and
then returns with the log message that mschap xlat failed.

I've traced down the code in rlm_pap (no changes between the two
versions), rlm_mschap (only unrelated changes), and main/xlat.c. xlat.c
seems to have had a *major* revision in between.

For the moment, I rolled back to 2.1.6+ (and had to give up on the
"do_not_respond feature, sigh) but it would sure be nice if this worked
again :-/.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
