In GNU Emacs 18.51.15 of Mon Sep 19 1988 on hullseq (berkeley-unix)

	This is not a fatal bug:
		(expand-file-name "../../../" "/users/cs/sm2") etc
	returns "//" not "/".  This results in a visual error only, it is
     still understood as "/".  If the first arg ends in "//", the result
     is always "/". ie.
		(expand-file-name "..//" "/users/cs/sm2") etc
	returns "/".
