doing a path look up, the kernel should collapse multiple consecutive
slashes into one slash (this is very easy).
I just read a 1988 draft of the posix spec and the gnu libc manual...
I didn't see anything about what happens with a trailing slash (everything
thing I read said it was "a file name"...filenames can't have trailing
slashes, but directory names can...)
