Summary: Directories with 2 character names

Initial Comment:
Using LXR 0.9.3 I noticed that I could not browse into
directories that had two character names (e.g. fs, db,
nc).  I tracked the source of the problem down to this
code in Common.pm, around line 550:

# Clean out /../
while ($path =~ m!/../!) 
{
   $path = s!/\.\./!/!g;
}

I made the change on the first line:
while ($path =~ m!/\.\./!) 
{
   $path = s!/\.\./!/!g;
}

This appears to have fixed the problem for me, but when
it comes to Perl I know just about enough to be
dangerous so it would be good for someone more Perl
saavy check this out.  I think the previous regex
expression was matching any two chars and not the
literal '..' as intended.

This has now been fixed in CVS.

If you can install the new version and check that it solves your
problem, then it would be very useful.

Thanks for reporting this defect and helping to make LXR better.

Ah, should have checked v 0.9.5 first, it fixes this bug :)
