Yes.  I think that's commented on somewhere, maybe in a ticket.  I
didn't bother to fix that bit of the Sun change as it was non-trivial in
some way I forget.  (The bare newline bug originally looked as if it was
in the escaping code, and I did initially change that.  I didn't install
the patch as it wasn't complete, but I think I have it somewhere if
anyone wants to pick it up.)

That's only one of hundreds of changes at
http://arc.liv.ac.uk/downloads/SGE/releases/ that presumably aren't in
the proprietary versions...
