Fair enough
at least
ls /././/./\./\../\/..\/
works and AFAICS doesn't crash anything.
In my job as a programmer, I maintain a very old app that actually
depends on "//" in pathnames behaving the same as "/". The
"//" triggers
some special app behavior while still being a valid pathanme when passed
to the kernel filesystem. It works this way on Linux, Solaris, AIX, and
SGI boxes.
