Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Dired can't visit a file with a backslash on its name (such as
\foo). Those files are displayed with a double backslash. If the user
presses `v' (for viewing) of `f' (for visiting) the file, an error
message is displayed:
dired-get-file-for-visit: File no longer exists; type `g' to update dired buffer
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.90/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Thanks for fixing the bug that was preventing visiting the file.
Is it correct that \foo is displayed as \\foo on the dired buffer?

Not really, but it will require a lot of work to change that (it's based
on some long-ago design decisions in Dired).
