Dont think so..  Lets say that ./foo is a valid directory..  Then
foo// would be the same as /    (correct????)


Nope. Same as "./foo". Repeated slashes are counted as a single slash. At
least on the versions of UNIX that I have played around with, the empty
string is the same as ".", so foo// is the same as foo/./, which of
course is the same as ./foo
