Comment 3 for bug 1390592

I may need to take another approach instead of replacing add-decimal-interp.patch with upstream commit r2456. While this bug is fixed, the regression test suite hits some new failures. The commit message of upstream commit r2541 explains the problem (and changes the tests):

 Earlier fixes to the parser's handling of escape sequences involving '\'
 caused a behavioral change that profiles no longer needed to contain
 '\\' before an octal escape sequence.

I don't feel like that kind of change is acceptable in an SRU. I'll dig into the r2456 patch some more and see if I can pull out only the binary encoding bug fix.
