This is due to the fact that the webserver you are using is mapping web
addresses to the file system.

The file system doesn't care how many forward slashes there are.

Someone could type that in, but chances are its because some link is
pointing to it with multiple slashes.  There are probably apache modules
to make that not work (or maybe even a setting, I don't know).. or you
could try and fix the broken links, or just make it work on your end.
