File.expand_path with relative directories
------------------------------------------

                 Key: JRUBY-2160
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-2160
             Project: JRuby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Classes/Modules
    Affects Versions: JRuby 1.1RC2
            Reporter: Charles
            Priority: Minor


In trying to run the ruby-ole unit tests on jruby, I ran into a problem with 
File.expand_path. Should be a simple fix:

% jruby -e 'p File.expand_path("/dir1/../")'
""

All other ruby implementations return root, which is correct, rather than the 
empty string - if you try to construct a filename from that path, it will be 
relative rather than absolute.

Not sure if this is covered by the existing spec in rubinius.

% ruby -e 'p File.expand_path("/dir1/../")'
"/"
% ruby1.9 -e 'p File.expand_path("/dir1/../")'
"/"
% ../../git/rubinius/shotgun/rubinius -e 'p File.expand_path("/dir1/../")'
"/"
