  Modified:    sys/kern  vfs_lookup.c
  Log:
  Don't allow empty pathnames.  POSIX standard.
  
  Most of the standard utilities that depended on (or were broken in
  a different way by) the old behaviour of interpreting "" as "."
  were fixed a year or two ago.  There is still a fairly harmless
  bug in tar and a harmless bug in gzip.  Tar apparently replaces
  "/" by "" when it strips leading slashes.
