TeX, does not define \\ as a macro for backslash (Knuth says that
backslashes are uncommon and \\ is too easy to type to be used for this
purpose) so in a LaTeX file \backslash is to be used. What I mean is
that Georg stated that this worked at a point and thus this change could
be hiding a bug. Maybe a discussion would have better clarified the
matter.
