Thanks for the report.  It's still a bug (espcecially since it core dumps),
but I guess the cause is because of the space in the "Program Files"
directory name, rather than the symbol not being in yahoo's database.
I believe the bug happens because the DOS shell is used to start the
different mas components and the shell can't handle names with spaces.
(I think this problem is fixed in the current, unreleased, development
version.)

I believe it's not, though it probably should be.
