Fix in oracle_compat.c

Hi,

the following patch fixes a bug in the oracle compatibility
functions btrim() ltrim() and rtrim().

The error was that the character after the set was included
in the tests (ptr2 pointed to the character after the vardata
part of set if no match found, so comparing *ptr or *end
against *ptr2 MAY match -> strip).

Jan, now that you have surfaced, can you let us know if the rewrite
system rewrite will be done for 6.4?

What's the deadline for 6.4?

End of this month. No one has asked for an extension yet.

Hmmm - got a new PC at home (333MHz PII, 64MB) - that guarantees
short turn arounds in development.

But home is now my own house - that works against time at all :-)

Since you asked me that often now, I think it's really time
to take a look at it.

Great. We just have so many TODO/bug items that are wrapped up in that
rewrite system, I would really like to get that stuff fixed.

Even if you break it in the process, we need to overhaul the code, and
no one really understands it like you.
