Subject: FreeRIDE 0.5 on windows bug

Running 0.5-final in WinXP Pro I get the following error:


C:\Programmi\FreeRIDE\freeride>freeruby-win\bin\ruby.exe freeride.rb

if I put the " caharacter in the save window.
Actually , I tryed to save a file as  " " but I can see the whole
freeride crashing with one of:

"
|
?
*
:

I suppose that this is related to NTFS not allowing such characters,
but a rescue statement could easily avoid the crash.. 

Moreover, trying to save a file as 

;
,
&
$
%
'

freeride works, but I can't see these file in the fileChooser

having one of this characters in a file such as 
my;file.log 

Hide the file even if they can be opened, saved etc.. 

Oh, and BTW, why you're shipping 
ruby 1.7.3 (2002-09-21) [i386-mswin32]

instead of 1.8 or 1.6.8 ?
