[issue13052] IDLE: replace ending with '\' causes crash

I don't have the beep problem you describe under Linux using Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Mar 25 2011, 19:56:22). That may be a platform-specific bug.

Here's a patch to use re.escape instead. 

A minor side effect of using re.escape is that it is not possible to use \n itself in the replace string. It gets escaped as \\n.
