Jan Richter commented on JBDS-3826:
-----------------------------------

It looks like we might need to be even more restrictive about such characters. Now cygwin is failing namely because of parentheses (), braces [], ampersand &, or single quotes '. Powershell seems to be trying to interpret these symbols.

The ampersand (&) character is not allowed. The & operator is reserved for 
future use; wrap an ampersand in double quotation marks ("&") to pass it as 
part of a string.
