--- Comment #2 from Martin Pitt <martin.pitt at ubuntu.com> ---
This unescaping is already done by getmntent(). With an fstab entry like

  \\1.2.3.4\stuff /mnt/stuff cifs defaults,nofail 0 0

the me->mnt_fsname is \1.2.3.4\stuff. fstab uses \ as an escape character, so
I'm afraid this pretty much behaves as specified and you have to escape \ too
if you use them (i. e. use \\\\1.2.3.4...).

It's best to avoid those at all and use forward slashes for CIFS mounts.
