Correction. That should had been this.


/* escape below */
\

/* newline above */


Firefox 3.6.16 treats this as if the escape was within a string.

This is a bug.

What I mean by this is shown below.


   /*
  /  *
/   *
--- * -- U+0085
    *
   *
*

The escape and newline within a string is inside but the U+0085 is 
parsed as if it was outside this string.
