Re: [1.7] Backslash incorrectly triggers DOS style path warning

I just installed the bash-completion package. To see how it worked, I typed

$ ssh <TAB>

This yielded:

$ ssh cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: BEGIN {FS=","}
/^\s*[^|\#]/ {for (i=1; i<=2; ++i) { \
gsub(" .*$", "", $i); \
if ($i ~ /
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: BEGIN {FS=","}
/^/s*[^|/#]/ {for (i=1; i<=2; ++i) { /
gsub(" .*$", "", $i); /
if ($i ~ /
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

Apparently a line continuation backslash in /etc/bash_completion was misinterpreted as an attempt to use DOS style paths.

Sorry, it might not have been the line continuation backslash. There are earlier backslashes in the line.
