This works fine on 2.0 BRANCH. I have added two testcases as proof. HEAD is
hosed, but for different reasons. TestBugs.test23094() and
TestFormulaParser.testEmbeddedSlash()
Comment 2 Avik Sengupta 2003-09-23 18:49:29 UTC 
Actually, to clarify, the above testcases run fine on HEAD.. but other testcases
are hosed.
