There appears to be a problem with paths of the form //x where 'x' happens
to be the drive for the root directory - //d in my case.  Obviously this
is not a big problem since "cd /" works instead of "cd //d".

Using beta 16 on NT 3.51 (build 1057).

Has anyone else seen this?

bash$ cd //c
bash$ pwd
/c
bash$ cd //d
bash$ pwd

bash$ mkdir test
bash$ cd test
bash$ pwd
../test
bash$ cd ..
bash$ pwd
