Doc promotes inadequate way to sanitize a filename

Description

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/drb/rdoc/DRb.html
also http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.8.7/libdoc/drb/rdoc/DRb.html

The "server" example for the "Logger" contains these lines:
# make the filename safe, then declare it to be so
fname = name.gsub(/[./]/, "_").untaint

On Windows, backslash is a separator character. The above gsub does not remove backslash.
