Hi Jax, thank you for reporting this issue, it looks like a conflict 
between the character escaping code and the multiline values code. To 
work around this bug I suggest that you replace your path separators 
with the unix path separator. Your values will be shorter and the 
configuration should still work on Windows:

key1=\\\\myfolder/
key2=\\\\myfolder2/
key3=file:d:/myfolder3
key4=\\\\myfolder4/
