I have just been alerted to a bug in the 8.0 handling of embedded newlines in CSV data. Basically it barfs on consecutive newlines. The attached patch for 8.0 appears to fix it. The bug isn't present in the HEAD branch, and I'm wondering if we should not backpatch the HEAD multiline patch rather than applying this.
Is there a particular reason to backport the larger patch? As a general rule I'm inclined to apply minimally-invasive fixes to stable branches, but I don't know the code in question, so perhaps there is some reason to make an exception in this case.
Also, a regression test for this bug would be nice :)
