Re: -Prune breaks if -Root ends on two slashes

As a follow-up, I have found another bug related to multiple successive 
slashes used in -R in 2.7.17 (as well as in 2.7.14 and 2.7.15): (1) two 
or more / anywhere except the end of path, or (2) three or more / at the 
end of path malform the archive and the catalogue.

dar -c /tmp/s -R /tmp//test -@ c
# The output is all good, exit code 0.

dar -t /tmp/s
FATAL error, aborting operation: Cannot open catalogue: incoherent 
catalogue structure

dar -t /tmp/c
FATAL error, aborting operation: Cannot open catalogue: incoherent 
catalogue structure

# Same issue with -R /tmp//test, /tmp/test///, //tmp/test,
# ///tmp/test, etc.

Is there any (2.8.x?) release I can upgrade to to finally avoid this issue?
