Well... A '(' character at this point in the code is no longer
punctuation. (This is why the parser dies.) Obviously I'll test out
the fix carefully, but I don't think it will be possible to get an
infinite loop this way. For example, anything besides a '(' character
shouldn't provide problems at all since it's ignored by the parser.
Granted, the parser shouldn't be using characters at all since
someone searching for "&test" doesn't want that confused with "AND
test" but IMHO, that's *way* beyond a simple fix.
