Subject: "./file" vs ".//file" pathname ambiguity in b16

Should "./test.out" and ".//test.out" resolve to the same path? B16 is
resolving the first one correctly (current directory) and the second one 
to be "/test.out". Is this expected? Breaking a lot of my code that puts
pathnames by pasting together file and directory entries from environment 
variables (exported by a parent process).

I thought only the first double-slash was significant in cygwin32.
