Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-493:
--------------------------------------------
The changes you see may be related to CONFIGURATION-418. (This issue also
contains a longer discussion about backslash parsing and its complexity.) It
may be necessary now to escape the backslashes in the value of the variable.
Details can be found in the user's guide at
http://commons.apache.org/configuration/userguide/howto_properties.html#Special_Characters_and_Escaping
Does this solve your problem?
