An easy fix for that is to change your newly added "if" to this:

                if (*f == '/' && f[1] != '/')

The one thing I wonder about with this is if "//" (with nothing else)
should be interpreted as "//" or "/"?  If it should collapse to "/",
we could use this:

                if (*f == '/' && f[1] != '/' && f[1] != '\0')

Is there a need to use "//" for something special?  I'm thinking I'll go
ahead an preserve it, just in case.

Thanks for your patch!
