New task #5722 in pdksh: build-in echo broken

[Flyspray - The bug killer!]

Project: PLD 2.x (Ac)

  Reported by: Jacek Konieczny (jajcus)
      Package: pdksh
      Version: 5.2.14-42
      Summary: build-in echo broken
  
  Both /bin/echo and bash built-in echo don't process '\' unless
'-e' option is given, but pdksh built-in echo does (and it is
documented in the manual).

pdksh$ echo '\\'
\
pdksh$ echo '\\'
\\
bash$ echo '\\'
\\
bash$ /bin/echo '\\'
\\

This pdksh behaviour may break some scripts and e.g. breaks
slony1_dump.sh script from slony1-tools package.
