Not that big problem, I just found it weird not to have the same behaviour.
Now I'm wondering wheter this difference could cause unpredictable error situation
while building pecuiliar classad, for instance while providing from a Java client
a classad string to a C++ Server (which is our specific situation)
Yet no problems have been found so far... but If I find it out, I'll tell you.
