Bug 17222

tested and confirmed on two separate windows machines with Rterm.exe for version 3.3.2.  does not happen in Rgui.exe

it does give the expected error (both in Rterm.exe and Rgui.exe)
	
c:\progError: '\p' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting ""c:\p"

but after that, it also crashes the program.  here's the console window behavior with sessionInfo() and you can see the program unexpectedly exiting after i hit the TAB key and the error gets printed

thank you!!
