Subject: [SWIPL] writef bug?

Hi,

According to the writef/2 help, the string '\\' should print a (single)
backslash character.
However, using SWI-prolog version 3.4.4 (NT), I get the following error:

?- writef('\\').
ERROR: Arithmetic: `''/0' is not a function
?- 

Is this a bug or am I doing something really stupid?
