SYMPTOMS
When you create multiple discussion threads on a single Web page that contain the "&#" characters in the subject line, the metadata is not unique for each discussion item.



CAUSE
There are two completely distinct bugs that cause this behavior:


 * HrFormEncodeString (util.cpp) does not encode '#' characters, even though they are 'unsafe' in URLs.
 * HrCanonicalizeUrlEx (wsutil.cpp) truncates everything after a '#' character.



MORE INFORMATION
File names that include the characters "&#" will be truncated at these characters and the full URL will not be properly displayed.
