The really important thing is to make sure that diskfs_lookup of "" still works the same way. That is special cased in diskfs_lookup anyhow, but still, this is the case to be especially worried about because many things subtly depend on it. I would rather not do this, in other words. > The rationale for it returning EINVAL is that "" (like anything > with infix slashes) is an inappropriate argument for "file name within > directory" arguments to RPCs.

I would much rather do it this way and change glibc to not issue such RPCs. So I'm all for this solution.
