Yes.

I think _fixpath should do that as well, to prevent confusion, and also 
to be compatible with Unix description that every call to chroot 
interprets its argument *relative to the previous root*.

If _fixpath is to remove the root, then you will need to change the way
chroot computes the full path name of the new root; a call to _fixpath 
won't be enough.
