Ok, here is the patch. It also adds your tests exposing the bug to the
test suite. The patch fixes both test cases and passes all other
regression tests (at least with JDK 1.5....). Does it look OK to you?
Should we do anything additional about error-ing out when we detect an
unterminated dollar-quote (see previous mail)?
