Summary: range join exception

Initial Comment:
Operating system: Windows XP

I'm having trouble getting range joins on strings working properly.

I looked into it and I found out that 
ALGrangejoin (algebra.c) calls BATrangejoin (gdk_rangejoin.c) that 
performs the join and returns a BAT as a result. BATrangejoin has a 
switch with a case for TYPE_chr that compares strings

When I try to perform a range join on a string attribute (char(n), 
even for n=1, varchar(n)) I get an exception:
!MALException:algebra.rangejoin:GDKerror
!ERROR: BATrangejoin: type not implemented

The switch statement skips the TYPE_chr case and goes to the default. 
For example,

sql>create table s1 (id int, v char(10)); create table s2 (id int, v 
sql>char(10)); insert into s1 values (1,'s1'); insert into s1 values 
sql>(2,'s2'); insert into s1 values (3,'s3'); insert into s1 values 
sql>(4,'s4'); insert into s1 values (5,'s5'); insert into s1 values 
sql>(6,'s6'); insert into s2 values (1,'s1'); insert into s2 values 
sql>(2,'s2'); insert into s2 values (3,'s3'); insert into s2 values 
sql>(4,'s4'); insert into s2 values (5,'s5'); insert into s2 values 
sql>(6,'s6'); select s1.id from s1, s2 where s1.v between s2.v and 
sql>s2.v||'c' ;
!MALException:algebra.rangejoin:GDKerror
!ERROR: BATrangejoin: type not implemented

whereas

sql>select s1.id from s1, s2 where s2.id=2 and  s1.id between s2.idand s2.id+1 ;
+----+
| id |
+====+
|  2 |
|  3 |
+----+

Thanks
