Selector causing an exception

Hello

Using a selector like this used to work fine with jQuery version 1.4.4

$el = $('#articlemenu li a[href=/sites/xxx/yyy/public/fi/article/view/id/111/page/2]');

In version 1.5 it causes an exception:

Uncaught exception: Syntax error unrecognized expression: [href=/sites/xxx/yyy/public/fi/article/view/id/111/page/2]

the element to be matched is

<a href="/sites/hairmail/hairmail/public/fi/article/view/id/111/page/2">
