Hi,

I was just gettextizing some man pages and I've noticed a problem when 
trying to mix several po files:

$ msgcat *.po
file1.po:19:10: invalid multibyte sequence
msgcat: found 1 fatal error

I've found that there was a strange character in that position, and it 
seems it's the equivalent of man page's "\ ". What's its meaning? Why is 
it handled with this strange byte? It seems we're generating non-compliant 
po files :S

Regards,
