Traditionally its invalid, but I think POSIX allows it to support
more stupid programs; therefore "//bin", "/usr//bin", and "/etc/"
should all be valid directory names; maybe even combinations of
these.
While this makes it easier for application programs, it makes it more
difficult (inefficient) for the kernel (I think).
