CSVParser hangs (goes into infinite loop) on getLine() if it's a "comment" line that doesn't contain a delimiter
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SANDBOX-331
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANDBOX-331
             Project: Commons Sandbox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CSV
            Reporter: Toli Kuznets


When you call CSVParser.getLine() or nextToken() with a line that is a comment as defined by the CSVStrategy but it doesn't contain the delimiter character, the call hangs in an infinite loop

This code will hang:
{code}
        parser = new CSVParser(new StringReader("# abc\n"), new CSVStrategy('\t', '\'', '#'));
        tokens = parser.getLine();
{code}

However, if you insert a delimiter char into the incoming string, it'll come through and return an empty string as a result:
{code}
        CSVParser parser = new CSVParser(new StringReader("#\tabc"), new CSVStrategy('\t', '\'', '#'));
        String[] tokens = parser.getLine();
        System.out.println("result: "+Arrays.toString(tokens));
{code}

It gets stuck in an infinite loop in CSVParser.nextToken() in the loop around line 347
