Trying to read the following csv:  

date,time,name,propertyValue,programName  
20150804,07:17:22.928,aerhqer,strjhwr,adtrhadtr  
20150804,07:17:22.928,A__z,"*SHLVL="*TMOUT,datrhnaetrh  
20150804,07:17:22.928,adrhae,true,adthad  

R) fread('test.csv')  
Error in fread("/u/delta1/colinu/test/freadTest/PropertiesLog.csv") :  
Field 4 on line 3 starts with quote (") but then has a problem. It can  
contain balanced unescaped quoted subregions but if it does it can't contain  
embedded \n as well. Check for unbalanced unescaped quotes:  
"*SHLVL="*TMOUT,datrhnaetrh  

read.csv2 works...  

R)  
setDT(read.csv2(file='/u/delta1/colinu/test/freadTest/PropertiesLog.csv',sep=','))[]  
date time name propertyValue programName  
1: 20150804 07:17:22.928 aerhqer strjhwr adtrhadtr  
2: 20150804 07:17:22.928 A__z *SHLVL=*TMOUT datrhnaetrh  
3: 20150804 07:17:22.928 adrhae true adthad  

Can you guys reproduce, can that be considered a bug ?  
If not how can I trick fread in reproducing read.csv2 ?
