System: Linux panic.spinnakernet.com 2.2.14-5.0 #1 Tue Mar 7 21:07:39 EST 2000 i686 unknown
Architecture: i686
host: i686-pc-linux-gnu

>Description:
	java.io.File returns a "/" whereas it should return a "null"
	when the path name does not name a parent (i.e. the path
        name is the root directory). The following
	java class when run on a sun jdk and on gcj displays the error.

	Run on sun jdk
	% javac FileTest.java
	% java FileTest
	Canonical Name "/" Name "" Parent Name "null"

	Run on head-of-line gcj

	% gcj --main=FileTest -o FileTest FileTest.java
        % ./FileTest
        Canonical Name "/" Name "" Parent Name "/"

>How-To-Repeat:
/*
 *  Test java.io.File.getParent() on a root directory.
 */
import java.io.File;

public class FileTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            File f = new File("/");
            System.out.println("Canonical Name \"" + f.getCanonicalPath()
                          + "\" Name \"" +  f.getName() + "\" Parent Name \""
                           + f.getParent() + "\"");
        } catch(Exception e) {
            System.out.println(" Exception Thrown ");
        }
    }
};

>Fix:
	Fix libgcj java.io.File.java to match jdk api.
