Bug Description

Running byobu-ctrl-a fails due to a syntax error.

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty

$ byobu --version
byobu version 5.74
tmux 1.8

$ byobu-ctrl-a

Configure Byobu's ctrl-a behavior...

When you press ctrl-a in Byobu, do you want it to operate in:
    (1) Screen mode (GNU Screen's default escape sequence)
    (2) Emacs mode (go to beginning of line)

Note that:
  - F12 also operates as an escape in Byobu
  - You can press F9 and choose your escape character
  - You can run 'byobu-ctrl-a' at any time to change your selection

Select [1 or 2]: 1

/usr/bin/byobu-ctrl-a: 151: /usr/bin/byobu-ctrl-a: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

Hey Dave,

Yes, it should. I just pushed a further update.

Also, I'm going to mark this bug a dupe of Bug #1274720
