wicd cannot handle an essid made of only numbers

[Anish Bhatt]

Wicd fails to connect to an network with an essid composed of only numbers. The bug is 2 places, first of which is already fixed in 1.6 bzr branch. I am attaching a patch for the second one.

Bug is in wicd 1.6.2.2

Trace is as follows :
