This bug was fixed in Make 3.82.

If make determines that the shell is "unixy", the generated shell script used to run a rule containing a continuation character will have one too many '\'s.  For example, the following makefile fails:

all:
echo this is\
a test

because the generated "batch" file used to run the echo command above is:

echo this is\\
a test

This results in two commands being executed (by unixy shells); "echo" and "a".  Clearly not what was intended.

The attached patch fixes this for me.  Note the "DB (DB_JOBS" line is, of course, unnecessary but it's invaluable when trying to debug a BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL configured make.
