[EventCalendar] ec3_get_events() not translating ampersands into character entities

[ejm]

Thank you for your reply, JD;

I'm relieved to not even try to deal with php.ini. I have looked and
as far as I can see there are no php.ini files in my folders. (There
is a php.fcgi in my root folder though.)

I had thought that it might be something around there and had already
tried 

wp_specialchars($calendar_days[$day_id]->add_post($ent->post_title,$time,$ent->is_event));

which, of course, didn't work as I had hoped at all and just changed
&#039 into &#039 

I have now added your suggested fix. The page loads without visible
error messages but alas, the same validation errors persist. Here is
just one of the error messages:

---validator.w3.org---
Line 704, Column 197: reference not terminated by REFC delimiter.


071001" title="Event: This month&#039 s events: CRNC  ACR  peace.ca
and media
----------------------

I have also noticed a vaguely alarming new problem that did not exist
before - when I try to go back or forward on the calendar, the
previous or future calendar is blank. This happens whether I have
wp_specialchars or not.

P.S.  I sort of remember seeing something about this and will search
through the archives to find the fix. I wonder if I have another
plugin conflicting.
