Not wrong in my view, but incomplete and using undocumented escape sequences yields unspecified behavior. The intent was to mimic fstab(5) behavior, and IIRC I noticed at the time that \xHH was supported although not documented either. Either way, better stick to documented escape sequences in both files. -- Guilhem.
