No, what's there is correct. What this code is doing is stripping off the
extension if extension mapping is being used. So if the path started out as:
/foo/bar/baz.do
the end result would be:
/foo/bar/baz
The test for (period > slash) ensures that the period really indicates an
extension, and we don't trip over something like:
/foo.bar/baz
by stripping off everything after the period.
