Re: Waiting for //.terminfo or //.termcap

That would be great. I am pretty sure it *is* a bug, because IIRC POSIX explicitly allows '//' to mean something other than '/'. This means that looking for //.terminfo if HOME=/ is Bad and Just Plain Wrong. It would even be a security issue if it is possible for a .terminfo/.termcap to be dangerous...
