idb2pat sigmake FATAL: Bad xdigit: error about flare-ida HOT 3 OPEN

interesting.

coincidentally, i had also discovered that the fields that look like 16bit numbers do in fact accept numbers larger than 16bits. so, this probably does lead to an issue in idb2pat.

thanks for providing a test file - i'll use that to help diagnose the bug and develop a fix.

@williballenthin Awesome, big thanks.

I created another issue which I have with the same project: #107

So when you'll work on it, you might want to look into that one as well.

They might be related, but doesn't really look like it, they look like different issues.

If anyone stumbles into this, you can resolve the issue by 8 digits, sigmake seems to only accept 0000 or 00000000,
so if you have 11960 turn that into 00011960
