Maestro: forward slash in Layer Group name of MapDefinition causes application hang

[jbirch]

This defect was reported by "Beluga" on the mapguide-users list and confirmed by me using Maestro build 2.1.0.4996.

To recreate, create a new MapDefinition, add a Layer Group to it with a Name containing a forward slash (/), and save the resource. Maestro becomes unresponsive after saving, and when attempting to open this resource in the GUI editor in subsequent sessions.

Let's try for a bit more clarity on the repro :)

The problem is that the Layer Group uses the '/' character as a way to construct a "path" to identify nested groups. Having a '/' character in the name will throw Maestro into an infinite loop.

The solution is to use a different character, preferably one that cannot be entered by normal user input.
