subject [contrib #404] Unescaped ampersands in XML attribute literals crash
code 
object X {
  val z = <x y="&"/>
}
what happened 
test.scala:2: error: in XML literal: error parsing attribute value
        val z = 
                        ^
test.scala:3: error: in XML literal: in XML content, please use '}}' to express '}'
}
 ^
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
what expected Noting that == , I'm assuming that the first error is correct. The second isn't, but is just about acceptable (given that the first is happening). The OutOfMemoryError definitely shouldn't be happening.

it doesn't do outofmem errors anymore. i guess error recovery of the thing could be improved =:o I mark it as fixed anyway. The output is now 
/tmp/amp.scala:2: error: in XML literal: error parsing attribute value
          val z = 
                          ^
/tmp/amp.scala:3: error: in XML literal: in XML content, please use '}}' to express '}'
}
 ^
/tmp/amp.scala:2: error:  I encountered a '}' where I didn't expect one, maybe this tag isn't closed 
          val z = 
                    ^
/tmp/amp.scala:2: error: ';' expected but $XMLSTART$< found.
          val z = 
                  ^
/tmp/amp.scala:4: error: '}' expected but eof found.

^
5 errors found

BTW I changed the code to reflect the intention of the original poster, luckily the subject speakes of UNescaped ampersands, but in the meantime aladdin's escaping rules had changed.
