bash quoting bug


I see that there have been some bash problems recently.  I am
reporting this in case it hasn't been handled in an upcoming
release of bash:

$ bash -c 'echo `echo "\\""`'
bash: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
bash: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.17(9)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

$


The proper output is a " character.
