multiple slashes in the path on command hose up java jar command.

[Michael Mercer]

Hello,

>From the tcsh command line, I ran jar command and used two slashes. Look at
example to 
understand what I am talking about. This was found through the use of a
makefile appending 
more than one slash to a path. Reproducible by just typing it in from the
command line.
Everything works fine if you use only one slash. (which I have re-written
the makefiles to do now).

what happens is the jar file contains everything in the classes directory.
The problem is that the 
FULL path is included!! ie: instead of seeing com/lboard/blah/blah.class 
you see: D:/cygwin/cvs_dev/directory/classes/com/lboard/blah/blah.class

Curious if anyone has seen or come across this problem before?
