[cvsnt] & in file name causes CVS to hang if the file is watched

2.0.58d client and server.

For whatever reason the developers used '&' in the file name.  Then someone put a watch
on the file.  Now when you try to update, it just hangs.  I would have filed
a bug report, but that page currently comes up blank.

<file name="I&W.ico">
    <watcher name="Rehan.Hamid">
      <commit />
      <edit />
      <unedit />
    </watcher>
  </file>

Thanks
chuck
