You may have a corrupted copy of the template; sometimes, lines that are overly 
long get 'helpfully' wrapped by Notepad or some other editors.  Check that 
there are not lines broken at odd places.  I've checked the template and it 
appears to have some wrapping but not in significant places; I removed the 
unnecessary newlines anyway.

The error message talks about a ')\' sequence; there should not be one of these 
in the file (at least, not looking at the code I can see) so possibly something 
has been accidentally changed?
