The java_io.StreamTokenizer.nextToken(ch) method parses octal escapes
wrong when analizes quoted strings. Eg. it parses \777 as one character 511
instead of two characters '\77' and '7'.

Here is the example demonstrating the bug:
---- Test.java ----------------------
import java.io.*;

public class Test {

public static void main( String argv[] ) {
 StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer
               (new StringBufferInputStream("\"\\777\""));
 try {
   st.nextToken();
   for(int i=0;i<st.sval.length();i++) System.out.print((int)st.sval.charAt(i)+" ");
   System.out.println();
 } catch (Throwable e) {
   System.out.println("Test failed: "+e+" is thrown");
 }
}

}
-- The output ----------------
511
------------------------------
