just looked this up in the specs, and POSIX seem to
require that leading slashes are preserved only if there
are exactly two of them:

    A pathname that begins with two successive slashes
    may be interpreted in an implementation-dependent
    manner, although more than two leading slashes are
    treated as a single slash.
    (from susv2)

maybe we should add a if len(slashes) > 2: slashes = "/"
test to the patch?

Cheers /F
