Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: conky

ubuntu 9.10
conky 1.7.2-0ubuntu5

to test, create a file like ~/foo with a few lines:
1#2#3#4#5
67890
10#11#12
131415

now put into your conky config file something like
${execp tail -n 10 ~/foo}

observe that the output is:
167890
10131415


this is a problem because i am actually tail'ing /var/log/messages and 
/var/log/syslog and so the output is malformed whenever a # sign shows up in 
those log files.
