That should sound more confident than it does. The bug is fixed because the old code first found the \0, then checked for a preceeding backslash, and got stuck if there was. "Use Placeholders" wasn't documented at all - attached is an update for the documentation in the kdelibs package. The patch tag is added for the previous patch (missed that I needed to CC control).
