as best I can tell, with current IPython from bzr the problem doesn't occur:

In [1]: unicode('some\xasda string')

ValueError: invalid \x escape

In [2]:

The error message is (correctly) reported, but no crash happens.

If you can reproduce it with current IPython please reopen the bug, else it seems to have been fixed since 0.8.2.

For now I'm closing it as 'Invalid' since it can't be reproduced with the current codebase, please reopen otherwise.
