Description Ariel 2006-12-27 02:41:40 UTC 
Version:           1.13 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (edgy) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-10-generic

While ripping/encoding an audio CD one song failed encoding.
Looking at the logs revealed a [t]csh style error:

  .mp3: Event not found

Target file name (as received from freedb, I suppose) was:
   "Beatles - 07 - Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite!.mp3"

Looks like the encoder session was using /bin/tcsh where '!' is expanded even within quotes.

Possible fix:
The encoder session should be called with the shell forced to /bin/sh (rather than anything in the environment) so results are more predictable.

To reproduce use an account with tcsh as its default shell (and possibly with SHELL env var set to '/bin/tcsh', not sure here) and try to encode a song with '!' in its name.
