Bug#443537: xbase-clients: xrdb: an apostrophe in a comment causes error

[Ryo Furue <furue@hawaii.edu>]

Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.2.ds2-2
Severity: normal

If a comment in .Xdefaults contains an apostrophe, xrdb
issues an error.  For example,

   $ cat tmp.txt
   ! This is a comment line.  Let's ignore it.
   $ xrdb tmp.txt
   <stdin>:1:31: warning: missing terminating ' character
   $

(I first recognized this problem with a real .Xdefault file,
 and I created this stupid example for this bug submission.)

Thanks,
Ryo
