Sorry, I was unclear, it is not a "missing" backslash. There is a 
trailing whitespace after the backslash in portmirror. The backslash has 
to be the last character on the line, otherwise Tcl doesn't see the next 
line as continuation of the comment.

Tcl interprets the backslash as an escape for the space, not for the 
newline character, so "missing" was really misleading here. It's hard to 
see the difference when looking at the output of head or cat.

Fixed in r37393 for the release_1_6 branch.

Hope this is clear now?
