Title:
  ar fails when double-slashes are used in certain paths

Status in “binutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: binutils

  Ubuntu Jaunty, binutils 2.19.1-0ubuntu3
  Ubuntu Karmic, binutils 2.20-0ubuntu2
  Expected: paths with double slashes work transparently, as in (most) other programs, or at the worst, give a relevant error message.
  Actual: paths with double slashes fail silently (i.e. are not included in the archive) or with a bogus error message ("No such file" when it exists).
  See attached script for test cases.
