      Description

      Prerequisite:

      In the comments block, there are links to each commenting user's profile of this type:
      http://MYMOODLEDOMAIN/user/view.php?id=USERID&course=COURSEID

      But: "&" should be "&".

      Now, if a user clicks this link, the course parameter isn't recognized and the user is forwarded to
      http://MYMOODLEDOMAIN/user/profile.php?id=USERID
      which he may or may not be able to view.

      Replacing in /comment/lib.php, line 598
      $c->profileurl = $url->out();
      with
      $c->profileurl = $url->out(false);
      solves the problem, the user is shown view.php as desired, but I don't know which side-effects this has.
