#6767: Punctuation can break photo uploads

 I'm doing a lot of photo uploads, and I came across a file I named 'Taking
 a picture of me?.JPG' - I'm using Mac OS X, so a filename containing a
 question mark is legal.  I don't have Windows running right now, but I'm
 pretty sure it's disallowed there.

 Anyway, I tried uploading this picture, and although the image uploader
 accepted it, and the progress bar completed, it never built a thumbnail
 for the picture (see attachment 1).  The image is absent when viewing the
 gallery on a WordPress page, but when browsing the media library, it seems
 to know the item exists (see attachment 2).  I blurred out my path
 information, because that's apparently a good idea.

 Renaming the file to 'Taking a picture of me.JPG' allowed it to upload
 without any issues.

 I'm using Safari 3.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.2.  Am hosted with Dreamhost.  Let
 me know if I can supply any more details. :)

 Thanks!
