           Summary: SIPserver rejects renewals for patrons with
                    alphanumeric cardnumbers

           Product: Koha

If you allow non-numeric characters in patron barcodes they may be stored in
either lower or uppercase in the borrowers table which is defined with a _ci
(case insensitive) collation and therefore treats both forms as equivalent.
However when the sipserver processes an issue transaction (used by most devices
for both issue and renew) the test to see if the issue is in fact a renew uses
a case sensitive comparison of the incoming cardnumber and that in the database
causing the renewal to be rejected as 'Item checked out to another patron'

e.g. this client sends cardnumber A17 but the database has stored this as 'a17'

Comparison in code should use same type of comparison as the database
