	Dear Gnu,
		This mail was returned `Returned mail: Cannot send message
     for 3 days' from MAILER-DAEMON@ch.epfl.litsun, so here is the all
     important mail again...

	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 "/".
