I'm getting the error below. I'm fixing it by changing the backslash to a vertical bar. It's in a comment so I guess that's the right thing to do? Dunno how anyone else's builds work!

Ah yes, multiline comments are a tricky one and we set -Werror only on
validate builds, so this would have only shown up then (it's easy for
warnings to slip by when compiling the RTS since it's relatively
quick.)
The fix looks fine to me - thank you Simon!
