Summary: Consecutive ~s in recording cause bad SCL or Modeler hang

Initial Comment:
The symptoms here are that the Modeler will just hang after a recorder is finished (using 100% CPU) or the created script will be missing bits, typically it won't have any of the required variables defined in the Definition section.

The problem is that the Gateway creates a badly formed intermediate recording (TOF) file if the content contains multiple consecutive ~ characters.  This was first noted with a Cookie containing a '~~' sequence, which when encoded for SCL becomes '~~~~', but it is possible that consecutive ~s in many parts of the recorded HTTP stream can cause the same problem.

The same problem can be artificially created by using the Modeler Comment button whilst recording and typing in a string of more than 3 ~s.
