Comment 4 for bug 583069

Hi,

zimdicator is encountering un-escaped double back slashes (\\) in the string, despite your replacement for '\\' to '\\\\'?! Had me stumped, seemed to me your replacement should work. But evertime I debug it, it is choking on a double slash. So I did some reading, the following are informative but didn't help get me to a solution.
