Backslashes can be valid characters in password, they are not always used to escape symbols.
Treat backslash characters as escape symbols only for quotes in quotes when processing .netrc files.

Any news on this? The issue is getting spread on more and more computers and may stuck some people with a .netrc shared by multiple applications.
