 Expected Result:
 
 \\ (double backslash)
 
 This works fine on MS.NET, and fails on both Mono 1.0.5 Windows/Linux and

+	* parser.cs: Fixed issues with Regex.Unescape() identified as part of
+	debugging bug #58256. The original problem reported was about
+	inconsistency between the way we treat replacement patterns and the 
+	way microsoft treats the replacement patterns in Regex.Replace(). MS
+	implementation is buggy and doesn't honour escape sequences in the
+	replacement patterns, even though the SDK claims otherwise.
