note 11807 added to function.stripslashes.php

ok, in my forum script I am doing quotemeta() to a variable, adding the variable to an include file, then including the file and doing stripslashes() to the variable, and echoing, but for some reason if the initial variable has a \ it writes to the file ass \\, but then when I do stripslashes it disappears completely (but everything else prints out right). I have been trying fo ra while to fix this, so figured it might be a bug. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripslashes.php
