[HACKERS] PQescapeBytea v 7.2.3 BUG?

[Reid Thompson]

should
sprintf(buffer, "%c", 0x5C);
readsz = 1;
buffer2Ptr =(unsigned char *) PQescapeBytea(buffer, readsz, &esclen);
for (ctr = 0; ctr < strlen(buffer2Ptr); ctr++)
{
printf("char[%d] is [%c]\n", ctr, buffer2Ptr[ctr]);
}
printf("esclen is [%d]\n", esclen);
printf("buffer2Ptr is [%s]\n", buffer2Ptr);

result in the following output?

char[0] is [\]
char[1] is [\]
char[2] is [\]
char[3] is [\]
esclen is [5]
buffer2Ptr is [\\\\]

OR should it result in
char[0] is [\]
char[1] is [\]
esclen is [3]
buffer2Ptr is [\\]
