Bug description:  fgetcsv error: tab delimited with backslash

Description:

Using this sample.txt file with fgetcsv (tab delimited)

9712211
950707\\
\\
999637ERYC 250

on the middle record I get instead of 3 records, I get 7.
instead of 3 records I get 2.
record 1 is read correctly, records 2 and 3 run together.

if I put a space at the beginning of the line with the double back slash
it works.

after searching the bug database I believe this error has not been
reported.
please correct me if this is not a bug.

Reproduce code:
---
?PHP

$fileHandle = fopen(sample.txt, r);
while ($data = @fgetcsv ($fileHandle, 5000, \t))
{
print_r($data);
}

?

Expected result:

Array
(
[0] =  
[1] = 
[2] = 971221
[3] = 1
)
Array
(
[0] =  
[1] = 
[2] = 950707
[3] = \\

\\
Array
(
[0] = 
[1] = 
[2] = 999637
[3] = ERYC 250
)

Actual result:
