repoview and sqlite 3.6

Working with Fedora 11 Preview, I discover that repoview doesn't generate the first letter index pages... quite annoying.
Searching in the code, I discover a minor awkwardness, it was working because of lack of strictness in previous sqlite versions.
SQL function "substr" must be called using substr(string,start,length), with start >= 1. But, what happens if start = 0 ?
Before :
$ sqlite3
SQLite version 3.3.6
Enter ".help" for instructions
sqlite> select substr('ABCD',1,2);
AB
sqlite> select substr('ABCD',0,2);
AB
sqlite> select substr('ABCD',0,1);
A
sqlite>
Now :
$ sqlite3
SQLite version 3.6.12
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> select substr('ABCD',1,2);
AB
sqlite> select substr('ABCD',0,2);
A
sqlite> select substr('ABCD',0,1);
sqlite>
New behaviour seems more complying with the standard but break repoview.
Once problem understood, fix is really trivial.

Well, MrIcon, you have work pending ;)
