It's no general path problem and it's no general $HOME problem.
We only have that problem if an application is not enough
`defensive' in handling paths. IMHO, it's quite annoying that
some applications don't check the given path for trailing slash.
That's it, the missing check for trailing slash! Most of the time.
I think we should simply do that:
- Don't let the root dir be HOME. There's no reason to do so.
Tell people that fact as often as they need it (FAQ?).
- Let's port applications so that they check the path for
trailing slashes as far as it could result in a faulty
UNC path (Yes, my openSSH port is affected as well!)
