SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try rendering a file with an ampersand in the filename
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Renders the file perfectly fine but says it crashed. Leaves the .log file intact (which has the filename as it should be) but the file containing the rendered video has &38; instead of just a & yet plays perfectly fine. There's nothing actually wrong with the file.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should render fine. Which it does but complains it's crashed when it hasn't.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
In my system "kinfo" does not exist!
