Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Fixes a potential bug in android/logger.c

Previously, when calling is_between(a, b, c), the calculation was wrong.
It counted C as between A and B if C was equal to B, but not A.

Example of this are:

is_between(1, 10, 10) = 1 (Expected: 0)
is_between(1, 10, 1) = 0 (Expected: 0)
is_between(20, 10, 10) = 1 (Expected: 0)

And so on and so forth.

Obviously, ten is not a number between one and ten - only two to eight are, so I made this patch :)
