Description

If we try to parse a bad filter ( for instance, without parenthesis ), the parser is entering an ininite loop.

Here is a test case to show this behavior :
public void testBadEqualsFilter() throws IOException, ParseException
{
try

{ SimpleNode node = ( SimpleNode ) parser.parse( "ou = people" ); // The parsing should fail fail(); }

catch( ParseException pe )

{ assertTrue( true ); }

}

Simply copy/paste it into org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.filter.FilterParserImplTest in shared-ldap
