[Bug classpath/36085] New: java.util.regex escape-sequence handling

[john-sheu at mail dot utexas dot edu]

java.util.regex.Matcher doesn't seem to handle escapes sequences in a
replacement steam correctly.  I suspect (from absolutely no evidence) that it
may be a bug with regexes in general.

Test program:

public class Test
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        System.out.println( "Test #".replaceAll( "#", "\\\\n" ) );
    }
}

Sun Java (1.6) output:

    Test \n

GCJ (4.1.2) output:

    Test \\n
