fix infinite loop in csv table import
* lisp/org-table.el (org-table-convert-region): don't continue csv
importation which the point catches the end, this fixes an infinite
loop which was caused by the (point) never catching up with the
"end" marker
Hi,
I've just noticed that I get an infinite loop when importing csv tables
into Org-mode tables. For example calling
(org-table-convert-region (point-min) (point-max) '(4))
from inside of a simple text file containing the following
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
1,2,3
1
2
3
5
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
results in an infinite loop. The attached patch fixes this issue [1],
however it seems weird that this would just surface now, given that the
code in question has been in the repo since last fall

| Correctly interpret CVS tables with quoted fields

| The csv parser was very primitive, ignoring quoted fields. This is
| now fixed.

Has anyone else noticed this problem? Should I go ahead and apply this
patch?
