Hi, g.message should echo verbatim, but it's parsing the contents of the
string:

{{{
GRASS65> g.message "%.8f"
0.00000000

GRASS65> g.message "%.8\f"
%.8\f
}}}

presumably if that is getting parsed/expanded, then other more nasty
things could be as well.

tested in grass 640,65svn, and trunk, in WinGrass and Linux.
