clearAllTemplates() generates surplus "/"

Apologies if this has been asked before but I have been off the list for some time and I had a quick look on MARC but couldn't find any reference to it. I'm using Quickform 1.63 and have struck a small problem with clearAllTemplates() When I use the afforementioned function I end up with some of my elements ending up with a surplus forward slash at the end of the tag. I don't believe it's my code as the QuickForm_example2.php that comes with Quickform exhibits this behaviour as well. Is this a known problem? Something to do with magic quotes perhaps? Is there a workaround? This is not causing major headaches as it appears to render properly in the browser (at least in Konqueror), but it's annoying. After the call to clearAllTemplates() if I print the _elementTemplate string it's just "{element}" which looks ok. An example generated by QuickForm_example2.php; <input size="3" name="tmp_text2[0]" type="text" /> Thanks, Brad
