ExtendedMessageFormat: OutOfMemory with custom format registry and a pattern 
containing single quotes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LANG-477
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-477
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4
            Reporter: Duncan Eley


When using ExtendedMessageFormat with a custom format registry and a pattern 
conatining single quotes, an OutOfMemoryError will occur.

Example that will cause error:

private static Map<String, Object> formatRegistry = new HashMap<String, 
Object>();    
    static {
        formatRegistry.put(DummyFormatFactory.DUMMY_FORMAT, new 
DummyFormatFactory());
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ExtendedMessageFormat mf = new ExtendedMessageFormat("it''s a {dummy} 
'test'!", formatRegistry);
        String formattedPattern = mf.format(new String[] {"great"});
        System.out.println(formattedPattern);
    }
}

The following change starting at line 421 on the 2.4 release seems to fix the 
problem:

CURRENT (Broken):
if (escapingOn && c[start] == QUOTE) {
        return appendTo == null ? null : appendTo.append(QUOTE);
}

WORKING:
if (escapingOn && c[start] == QUOTE) {
        next(pos);
        return appendTo == null ? null : appendTo.append(QUOTE);
}
