Thanks for your bug report. This is not strictly a bug, as on Unix,
end-of-line is indicated by a single LF character, instead of a CRLF
sequence. Therefore, a CR character, on Unix, indicates white space.
Then, the \ character is not the last character in the line, and your
program does not work.

Because this is such a frequent problem, the mainline compiler (2.96
20000326 (experimental)) will also treat CRLF indicating end-of-line.
