[vw 79] Why is "\\" doubled in version browser?

If I browse version of #\\ from Core.LargeInteger, the list item in the versions browser looks like;

\\\\ “arithmetic” Jul 5, 2012…..

whereas #+ looks like

+ “arithmetic” Jul 5, 2012….

I checked this out against my installed version of 7.9 and could not observe this effect. The \\ was not doubled for me when browsing versions of the method in Store.

In my case this is on Windows XP 32-bit, using the full commercial distribution.

In reply to this post by Terry Raymond

Dear Terry,
do I guess right that you are using Postgres 9.1 or later with the
default config settings, which have changed from earlier versions as to
whether \ must be escaped?

You can either change the postgres config default or load an appropriate
recent version from the open repository: Bruce has evolved the code to
capture the config values, and handle this case.

If you load the latest PostgreSQLDriver, and then load PostgreSQLEXDI
versions 1.5 009c (or 009b or 009a), it should work out of the box in
7.9. These versions, and also 008 or 010, will work in 7.8 or 7.8.1.
