 You are able to submit a category name with a $. When you assign that
 category, it crashes the non-admin portion of the site. It is possible to
 unselect the category, but I didn't know this was the reason and I lost
 about 3 hours trying the find out what the issue was. I think Wordpress
 should either remove the $ or save it as \$. But since it will create a
 category slug, I think it should be removed.

 Issue on wp-includes/class-wp.php. Line:

 if ( preg_match("#^$match#", $request_match, $matches) ||
                                                 preg_match("#^$match#",
 urldecode($request_match), $matches) ) {
