[Slogger] Some success on Mac OSX

[Ken Schutte]

This has come up before.  take a look at this post,
http://mozdev.org/pipermail/slogger/2006-February/000274.html

You can try to escape those special characters with a few lines of 
custom javascript.  (but you have to be careful - see the warning in the 
post).  Maybe I should have it do this automatically... (or at least 
tell you when/why it fails).
