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

[Dr. Peter Troxler]

ejm

reading through your email again I started wondering:

why isn't there a ; after the &amp in the first place ???
(this is exactly what the error message is telling us: reference not  
terminated by REFC delimiter.)

so we are looking in the wrong place to fix something that cannot be  
fixed that way.

you need to find out where this wrongly encoded & comes from (maybe a  
manual entry?)
