From e5c349ba112fc53832c757cef122297718d3a175 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bryan Donlan Date: Sun, 4 May 2008 01:37:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] config.c: Escape backslashes in section names properly If an element of the configuration key name other than the first or last contains a backslash, it is not escaped on output, but is treated as an escape sequence on input. Thus, the backslash is lost when re-loading the configuration. This patch corrects this by having backslashes escaped properly, and introduces a new test for this bug.
