Hmm, it's weird because we are using '@' in our English label format.
For example

pau^pau-ao+th=er@1_2/A:0_0_0/B:1-1-2@1-2&1-7#1-4$1-3!0-2;0-4|ao/C:0+0+1/D:0_0/E:content+2@1+5&1+2#0+3/F:in_1/G:0_0/H:7=5@1=2|L-L/I:7=3/J:14+8-2 

So it should work.
What kind of error do you receive? Segmentation fault?
Please run debugger and give us more information about this problem

You should avoid '*' and '?' because they are used as special characters for pattern matching.
In HTK, '%' is also used as a special character, so it should also be avoided.
