[Slogger] Trouble with title variable

I love Slogger so much, I refuse to update Firefox unless Slogger works 
with it!

I use it to save web pages so that I can later read them offline. After 
reading them, I end up deleting most of them. I have the log file turned 
off. Up until recently (0.5.11), I was able to save the pages using the 
$title variable in the name of the file:

$title-$year-$month-$day_$hour-$minute-$second.$typeext

Now, if $title is used in the filename, sometimes it works, and 
sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, it doesn't save anything - Web 
page only, complete web page, or text. I think it is choking on the 
length of the web page title. I could save pages with very long titles 
in 0.5.11 and truncate them later, if I was going to save them after 
reading them. As an example, try some of the tips at 
http://www.jsifaq.com).
Even the longest titles saved OK. Now, they won't save.

I'm using $filebase for now, but $title tends to gives a much more 
descriptive name, so I would prefer it.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Betsy
