Summary: Faulty parsing of strings

Initial Comment:
In a language where characters can be escaped (e.g. C/C++, Perl, ...) if the escaping character appears as a literal in the last position of the string, the string delimiter is escaped and the following text is considered part of the string. This leads to an "out-of-sync" condition.

In generic.conf, replace all occurrences of "stay" pattern '\\\\"' by '\\\\.' (and similar for delimiter ').
"Stay" pattern is the third in a category definition.
