 [10597] introduced the use of mysql_real_escape_string() in wpdb's
 escape() method.

 However, when you save a post the content gets double-escaped, which means
 that line breaks are turned into {{{\r\n}}} and then {{{\\r\\n}}}.

 The first escape is in wp-settings.php where applies add_magic_quotes() to
 $_POST.

 The second is in wp_update_post() which applies it to the post content
 (wp_update_post() is called by edit_post()).

 Then wp_update_post() calls wp_insert_post(), which calls
 stripslashes_deep(), so we end up with {{{rn}}}.
