Postgres DB password special characters breaks armitage

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create msf user with password of Password@1
2. Configure database.yml file appropriately
3. Attempt to launch Armitage

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Instead of logging in to Armitage, I get an error about invalid password and 
cannot connect to database. When I change the password on the msf user to 
Password1, Armitage works.

What version of Metasploit are you using (type: svn info)? On which
operating system?

Linux Mint 16 Petra, Metasploit v4.9.0-dev

Which database are you using?

psql (PostgreSQL) 9.1.11

Please provide any additional information below.

Oh well. I support a few configurations of the Metasploit Framework. The one on 
Kali Linux, the R7 installer, and Carlos Perez's msf install script. None of 
these put special characters in the password. It's a password for a service 
bound to 127.0.0.1 (or it should be bound to that).
