Okey, I'll post a new patch with just those test cases, no changes to the pathCompare, so we at least have those tests.

Ahh, I see. My patch was based on the assumption that 'a/b' was a valid comparison, since I was seeing similar comparisons in live code. But as you say, that's probably due to how I use the iterators. I will go back and investigate how I ended up with 'a/b' paths in the first place.

Thanks :)
