DataObject adding extra slashes

It has come to my attention, when I used setFrom($_POST)

some of the data is already adding slashes to quotes when posted,
DataObject however is already adding slashes is there a way to stop
this ?

Here is something in a function i had used for generating sql from post
arrays, it was dodgy but worked :|

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$vals .= "'".addslashes($value)."'".$delimiter;
} else {
$vals .= "'".$value."'".$delimiter;
}


should this be patched to dataobject or MDB2 or DB quote method ?
