Cookies that contain the double quote character are badly translated into SCL strings.
This problem actually affects more than just Cookies - it can occur in many strings taken from the HTTP and then appearing as strings in the created SCL. It is most easily reproduced using Cookies that already exist (static) in the browser though.
The created strings may be uncompilable or may just not be the string that the browser sent - indexing gets mixed up the translation and ~<22> effectively gets put in the wrong place in the created string.

I have recoded the modifyStringAsScl routine so that it doesn't "get confused". The new algorithm should be considerably more efficient (doesn't copy strings around so much and works in a single pass), works (it fixes this bug), and also encodes the single quote character to ~<27> for completeness and to avoid any potential future issues.
