I have not yet looked into the CVS version.
Confirmed with - bash-3.0 configured as configure --enable_xpg_default - squid CVS (as described by Paul), configured as CONFIG_SHELL=xpgbash; export CONFIG_SHELL $CONFIG_SHELL ../squid/configure -C --enable_xpg_default \ CONFIG_SHELL=$CONFIG_SHELL - both the autotools versions used in the CVS version, as well as CVS Autoconf. The issue is not in Autoconf, but in the macro AC_CREATE_PREFIX_CONFIG_H (taken from the autoconf archive?). Inside the squid source tree, the macro resides in lib/cppunit-1.10.0/config/ac_create_prefix_config_h.m4 as part of the cppunit subpackage. The macro is now deemed obsolete at http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/macros-by-category.html the successor is AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H. Which itself uses printf to work around these issues. It has other issues with recent Autoconf, though, so it needs changed as well. I will look into that, and post an update. FWIW, are there _any_ other shells that do not output \1 with echo "\\1" except for bash-3.0-with-xpg-echo?
