[Cdash] project names with special characters

[thehighhat]

I once was able to create new projects from the admin page that had
underscores in the name.

Now whenever i try to use an underscore, it gets removed.  I have
tried quoting, double quoting, escaping, and ascii code.  Nothing
works.   (1.4.x and 2.0.2, from firefox, safari, and explorer)

How can I create a new project with an underscore in the project name?
