g.message: unwanted expansion

[hamish]

Hi, g.message should echo verbatim, but it's parsing the contents of the string:

GRASS65> g.message "%.8f"
0.00000000

GRASS65> g.message "%.8\f"
%.8\f

presumably if that is getting parsed/expanded, then other more nasty things could be as well.

tested in grass 640,65svn, and trunk, in WinGrass and Linux.

Replying to hamish:

Try r43541 (trunk).

r43541 works for me. backported to 6.5svn with r43548.

thanks, Hamish
