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.
