pgScript and ampersand

[Matthieu Pepin]

I'm having a problem with pgAdmin and pgScript. If I do something like this:
CREATE TABLE testtable(description VARCHAR);SET @myvar = 'String with & ampersand';INSERT INTO testtable(description) VALUES('@myvar');
pgAdmin hangs when I run the script. The timer at the bottom right of the screen just keeps increasing and I can't even cancel the script. It is caused by the ampersand in @myvar. Is there something I can do to make it work or it's really a bug? I'm using pgAdmin 1.14.0 in OpenSUSE 12.1 Tumbleweed.
