Just to note, this bug only affects ZWiki version after Zwiki 0.10.0rc1.

Also, the fix is pretty trivial, apply the following patch to
standard_error_message in all ZWiki folders (and on disk, so you don't
have to do it again ;-):

I could not find any likely page matching
- "<b><dtml-var "here.urlunquote(searchexpr)"></b>"
+ "<b><dtml-var "here.urlunquote(searchexpr)" html_quote></b>"

Sadly, I see I broke the bug tracker, 'cos it's also a ZWiki, and has
MUCH bigger problems than the above :-S (execution of any DTML in the
context of (hopefully!) the user that created it along with a total lack
of html quoting in the page :-(

In short, only use ZWiki if you know what you're doing, and preferably
only if it's not anonymously accessible...

*sigh*
