This (i think) is the shell, who can cope with things like /home//ftp
and so on. It jsut collapses multiple '/'s into one.

Really? I find that very strange. Actually, if it's an old bash shell,
then maybe it doens't do the / collapsing.

Debian does this. Like I said, it's your shell, and I guess 2.x series
bash shells all support this.
