Hi,
        I'm having some problems with kpathsea when attempting to run xdvi.  It seems that kpsa is
recursing infinitely whenever a path contains //.  Here's last bit of debugging output from xdvi:

kdebug:search(file=cmr10.vf, must_exist=0, find_all=0, path=/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts//).
kdebug:hash_lookup(TEXMF) => /usr/local/lib/texmf
kdebug:fopen(/usr/local/lib/texmf/ls-R, r) => 0x0
kdebug:hash_lookup(/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/) => (null)
kdebug:dir_links(/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/) => 11
kdebug:hash_lookup(/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts//) => (null)
kdebug:dir_links(/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts//) => 11
kdebug:hash_lookup(/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts///) => (null)
kdebug:dir_links(/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts///) => 11
kdebug:hash_lookup(/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts////) => (null)
kdebug:dir_links(/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts////) => 11
kdebug:hash_lookup(/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/////) => (null)
kdebug:dir_links(/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/////) => 11

... and so on.  Any ideas why this might be happening?
