Description of problem:
AVC messages that have filenames (path=, exe=, etc.) containing a left
brace character '{' cause audit2allow to loop, or otherwise misbehave.

Assuming that the 'brace' should trigger special handling only when it
starts a field, here is a patch:

            while($types[$j]!~/\}/){
                $command.=" $types[$j]";

For reference, here is a 'brace AVC':

Aug 12 09:08:02 fedora kernel: audit(1092326882.229:0): avc:  denied
