Bug in CommentedProperties

Hi,

There seems to be a bug in CommentedProperties store() method, it is not saving escaped characters correctly.

Say there is a property in property file
TestProperty=this has an escaped characters in it \\ and \=.

This property is read correctly but when the file is saved using the store() method the property is saved as
TestProperty=this has an escaped characters in it \ and =.
So when it is read the next time the backward slash and "=" are lost.

If we save the same file with Properties object, it is saved correctly as
TestProperty=this has an escaped characters in it \\ and \=.

The test was done with the latest nightly build on March 10, 2010.

Regards,
Najam

Sorry, "=" is not an escape sequence. The issue is only with the backward  slash.
