Description

when calling the replaceAll function on java.lang.String with a backslash :

println 'xxxx'.replaceAll('x',

{'\\'}

)

I get the following exception:

Caught: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 1

any other character does not cause the same exception
