[TriLUG] cd //

[Frye, Matthew]

	That's pretty interesting; it seems like a bash bug to me.  I don't
	think it would matter, as consecutive slashes are always condensed
to a
	single slash when a file is being opened, etc, but it's still odd.
I
	noticed it only does this with exactly two slashes, and that it also
	shows up in the output of 'pwd' :

	jeremy at jeremy ~ $ cd /var
	jeremy at jeremy /var $ cd //var
	jeremy at jeremy //var $ pwd
	//var
	jeremy at jeremy //var $ cd ///var
	jeremy at jeremy /var $ cd ////var
	jeremy at jeremy /var $ rpm -q bash
	bash-2.05b-34
	jeremy at jeremy /var $ cat /etc/redhat-release
	Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)

	--Jeremy, a little curious too.

I investigated this a few weeks ago.  Yes, it is a bash bug, and no, it does
not matter.
