  1. If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with another double quote. For example:

    "aaa","b""bb","ccc"

how should happen in case of "aaa","b"bb","ccc" ? i'd say a warning is enough since i can parse it just fine, what do you think ?

In the long term we need a "strict" mode. But as our current main goal is to work with the files that are lying around in /etc, you are right: we should accept it with a warning.
