[Bug 78] New: String.replaceAll() escaping incompatible w/ specs

http://sablevm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=78

           Summary: String.replaceAll() escaping incompatible w/ specs
           Product: SableVM
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: default

Consider this call:

s = s.replaceAll("\n", "\\\\n");

On Sun's JVM it will change all newlines into "\n" strings, while w/ SableVM
and GNU Classpath it will change all newlines into "\\n" strings.

OTOH this call:

s = s.replaceAll("\n", "\\n");

on Sun's JVM will not change the content of string s as all newlines will get 
changed into... nelines.  But on SableVM it _will_ change newlines into "\n" 
strings.
