Interesting. I am having to give eight backslashes in the script in
order to get two of them in perfbook_flag.tex. You are getting four
backslashes from the set of eight, I take it?
I have the release ready, but am having difficulties getting the results
uploaded to kernel.org. I have an email in to the helpdesk, so hopefully
will get this set up, though holidays might results in a significant
delay. I don't see this as an emergency, not yet, anyway. ;-)
Thanx, Paul
