Well, that *is* a bug - it's the parenthesis that do it. In the old
days when BB was using CGI's coded as shell scripts, special
characters that could cause security problems were banned from the
URL's sent to CGI-programs, and the bbgen/Hobbit CGI's did the same.

I think it's safe to drop that restriction now. None of the Hobbit
CGI's ever deal with the query-parameters in the shell wrappers.
