crash with embeded " - Githubissues

What steps will reproduce the problem?
gson.fromJson("{\"title\":\"? The Trend: \"Can You Write News\" ? The
Search For Stuff:\"}", Object.class);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should parse (with an error because of using Object.class) instead throws:

Caused by: com.google.gson.ParseException: Encountered "
<IDENTIFIER_SANS_EXPONENT> "Can "" at line 1, column 25.
Was expecting one of:

    "," ...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.4 Windows 7 64-bit.

Please provide any additional information below.

The issue is the \"Can You Write News\" - works if you change it to \\\"Can
You Write News\\\".  From what I can tell it should work with out the
additional \\ though.
