New submission from Grant Hillebrand: When running the following code on Windows 7 (64bit os), and selecting a root drive letter, eg C:, it returns "C:/", with a slash appended. When selecting any other path below root level, eg "C:/users" it returns "C:/users" - no slash appended. This then introduces an odd edge case in processing the output if the path is to be prepended to directory walk data and other file names.
