Subject:	error: missing terminating ' character while modifying md file

Ok, so after weeks of reading and looking at multiple .md files, I
felt ready to give it a try and decided to create some define_split's
on my own.
I created a define_split RTL pattern which included this condition:
"reload_completed
&& GET_CODE (operands[1]) == MEM
&& GET_CODE (XEXP (operands[1], 0)) == PLUS"

When I try to compile it I get:
../../gcc/config/c816/c816.md:36 error: missing terminating " character
../../gcc/config/c816/c816.md:37: error: stray '\' in program
...

If instead, I place the condition all in a single line:
"reload_completed && GET_CODE (operands[1]) == MEM && GET_CODE (XEXP
(operands[1], 0)) == PLUS"
then gcc is happy.

I have been searching the web for hours now, but I have not been able
to find what is causing this.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what might be causing this issue?

I am using FC6, and Xemacs. The GCC version on my system is gcc (GCC)
4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30).

Thanks,
-Omar
