So, I'm trying to read some dot files (that are generated by a tool
looking at a perforce depot.
Most of the files "read_graphviz" just returns false. So, I started
cutting down my test cases to see what's going on.
Here's what I found:
digraph G {
    a0 [ label = "//depot/path/to/file_1" ];
    a1 [ label = "//depot/path/to/file_2" ];
a0 -> a1 [ color=gray ];
}
works great, but
digraph G {
    a0 [ label = "//depot/path/to/file_1#4" ];
    a1 [ label = "//depot/path/to/file_2#9" ];
a0 -> a1 [ color=gray ];
}
fails. Apparently the DOT reader doesn't like "#"s in quoted  
strings. :-(
Thanks for catching this.  There was a bug in the part of the  
graphviz reader that was reading strings.  I wasn't even able to get  
your first example to parse correctly, but now both versions seem to  
parse just fine.  The fix has been checked into CVS.

Cheers,
ron
