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.
