Sorry, I thought I already replied to your mail.

So, I tried and you're right. It hangs when you add an ampersand in the
string. There's nothing in the documentation saying you're not allowed
to use an ampersand, so it's clearly a bug. I don't have time right now
to fix it, so I added a ticket to fix this bug later.
