At least Cygwin behaves this way, using "//" as the root of the "//system/share" path notation for accessing other computers on the same network. While Linux happens to have an implementation definition that "//" and "/" are identical, bash has chosen that it is easier to always handle "//" specially than to try to determine whether a particular system treats it as distinct or normalizes it. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
