And, in another followup in this thread, I also wrote:

I only just now finally got around to checking this thing out (sorry for
the lag), and I see that it is indeed broken.  I'll try to get it worked
out ASAP.

My apologies.  I must have forgotten to test the fetch/extract stages
when I was putting the port together.  I'll have to remember not to make
*that* mistake again in the future.  :-)

Still, it's very odd; I don't recall seeing the pathnames with the
double slashes before.  Just off the top of my head, I really don't know
what's happening with this port at the moment.

But it *will* be fixed, rest assured.  :-)

Again, sorry for not getting back on this thing sooner.

Conrad
