[rt-users] problem with slashes

[Alex Fung A Foek]

I have the same problem (noticed somewhere around version 2-1-87). I'm 
currently 3-0-2pre4 (with perl 5.8.0, apache 1.3.26, postgres 7.3.2r1-4) 
but still have the backslash problem. The backslash is considered an 
escape character so whenever I need to add text containing a backslash I 
add a second one. Added text with only one backslash will end up with 
the error:

Apr 28 13:35:24 rt postgres[1245]: [3] ERROR:  Bad input string for type 
bytea
Apr 28 15:35:24 rt RT: DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR:  Bad input 
string for type bytea at /usr/share/perl5/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm 
line 385.  (/opt/rt3.0.2pre4/lib/RT.pm:222)
Apr 28 15:35:24 rt RT: RT::Handle=HASH(0x9840830) couldn't execute the 
query 'INSERT INTO Attachments (Subject, ContentType, Filename, Headers,

/usr/share/perl5/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm line 392.
