Sure sounds like some stray whitespace got between the
backslash and the newline it was intended to protect.  Possibly
due to different conventions about newlines and linefeeds
between Unix and other bogus operating systems?

I've always hated the Backslash-Newline convention! It's one thing to
have *leading* whitespace be significat (a la Python) but when code
doesn't work because of *trailing* whitespace (invisible!) it makes me 
mad!
