Functional tests fail when browser parameter contains a full path

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Set 'selenium-rc.browsers' in 'my.ant.properties' to a browser and path, such as: '*firefox3 /Applications/Firefox3.6.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin'.
Run the functional tests with ant functional-test.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The functional tests should be run and the message 'Build successful' should be output.

Instead the test server fails to load and the build is aborted.

The problem is that the URL for the functional test report file (in selenium-rc.xml) is constructed by using the 'outputDir' and the 'browser' parameters, like this: {{{ @{outputDir}/@{browser}-results.html }}} This is fine if an environment variable is set for the browser being used, because the 'selenium-rc.browsers' variable will then usually be set to '*firefox3' (i.e., with no path). But when using the full browser path Selenium fails to create the report file, causing the tests to abort.
