Hi Sam,

With bash as shell I get the same results, dash is different though.

$ printf \\xa8\\x51\\x37\\x00 > x ; hexdump x
0000000 785c 3861 785c 3135 785c 3733 785c 3030
0000010

$ /usr/bin/printf \\xa8\\x51\\x37\\x00 > x ; hexdump x
0000000 51a8 0037                              
0000004

$ echo -ne \\xa8\\x51\\x37\\x00 > x ; hexdump x
0000000 6e2d 2065 785c 3861 785c 3135 785c 3733
0000010 785c 3030 000a                         
0000015

Kind regards,
Michael
