I don't have any problem, I only show you one case where I had to fix
an script in order to work a compilation in dash.

I'm using dash because of simplicity, unfortunately I don't understand
how things work.

I think the problem is of dash, I only want to report that dash fails
at parse scape sequence.
For instance, the command

  echo \\\\

prints

  \

I think it should print
\\

I don't have to decided how dash should understand things because it
isn't my project. I only advise of a bad behavior, of course from my
point of view.

Bosco.
