I am seeing the html "&" show up in yoyo and cosmology in the linux version of boincmgr, but the windows one shows the correct text The top figure is 9.1 Ubuntu the one below is vista 64. Yoyo is not shown on the linux one, but it has the same problem.
Team name should be "Texas A&M University" but as shown below, "Texas A&M University shows up". When I go to the actual projects I do not see any problem in the team name. ie: at the yoyo team page, there seems to be nothing wrong with the name of the team.



For what it is worth, boincview shows the & on cosmology and yoyo for ALL platforms, not just the linux platform. Since boincview interfaces with boinc directly, maybe this is a boinc core bug.

I noticed that every project listed in the client_state.xml file has the same faulty name

ie: for AQUA at home

    <master_url>http://aqua.dwavesys.com/</master_url>
    <project_name>AQUA@home</project_name>
    <symstore>http://aqua.dwavesys.com/symstore/</symstore>
    <user_name>BeemerBiker</user_name>
    <team_name>Texas A&amp;M University</team_name>




However, aqua is NOT one of the projects that displays the &amp. They correctly show A&M at their web site and also in boincmgr.

So is the &amp ok for use in client_state.xml?

thanks for looking
