Hi Michele,

I also run into this issue.  That case is specially handled in
normalize-pathname.  I contacted Felix and he said that special case
could be removed, so we'd get (normalize-pathname "/") -> "/".

I haven't done this yet because the Windows stuff has scared me.

I don't know how normalize-pathname should behave in that case.

Best wishes.
