Gabor Grothendieck pointed out a bug to me in list.files(..., full.name=TRUE), that essentially comes down to the fact that in Windows it's not always valid to add a path separator (slash or backslash) between a path specifier and a filename. For example,
c:foo is different from c:\foo and there are other examples. I'm going to fix this, but I'm wondering whether the fix is needed just for Windows, or for Unix too. Specifically: In Unix-like systems, is it *always* safe to add a slash between a pathname and a filename? The only examples I can think of that might go wrong are things like //foo /tmp//foo Are these the same as /foo and /tmp/foo? Are there any examples where an extra slash causes trouble?
