[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Greetings.

Just stumbled upon this:

*# md5sum
./Development/rss/rss/STAGING/BATTITI_del_27_11_2016_-_Battiti_Live:_Arsene_Duevi\\Roberto_Zanisi.mp3
\d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e 
./Development/rss/rss/STAGING/BATTITI_del_27_11_2016_-_Battiti_Live:_Arsene_Duevi\\Roberto_Zanisi.mp3*

*# cp
./Development/rss/rss/STAGING/BATTITI_del_27_11_2016_-_Battiti_Live:_Arsene_Duevi\\Roberto_Zanisi.mp3
/tmp/qlo
# md5sum /tmp/qlo
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e  /tmp/qlo**
*

IE, in the first instance a '\' character is prepended to the output.
The file itself is an empty file, so I guess the file content is
irrelevant to the apparent bug.

Running coreutils-8.31-6.fc30.x86_64 on Linux 5.6.13-100.fc30.x86_64+debug

To communicate, cc me, as I am not a ML subscriber.

Cheers,
