00988: Ampersand escapes are broken.

Description: Sometime in the last dozen upgrades or so, ampersand escapes on HTML entities in wiki pages have broken. I only noticed this when looking at a page I wrote a long time ago, so its hard to say just what version broke this.

An example of the problem:

  Thus, the string '├' is rendered as '├'.
  And you have to write '├' to get '├'.

  Thus, the string '├' is rendered as '├'.
  And you have to write '├' to get '├'.

This used to work, and would render as:

  Thus, the string '├' is rendered as '├'.
  And you have to write '├' to get '├'.

I made a test page to demonstrate the problem (Test.Ampersand), although I suppose that was redundant as its obvious enough in this entry. Although double-escaping works on PmWiki, it doesn't on my site. I imagine thats an interaction between some recipe and this bug.
