<p>Is there a posix compliant 'shell' we can try? As above, bash and sh flunk out the same way.  If there's no other shell that passes this test then they should change it.</p>
<p>And if you think about it a comment is a comment ... there is no active code in a comment line so parsing the backslash is dumb.  You might have commented out some line of code that has a trailing backslash and you want it <em>inactive</em> not killing the next line of code too by trying to make it part of the comment.  Dumb!</p>
