+Summary: Uri.LocalPath returns invalid path for relative paths
+
+The System.Uri class does not deal correctly with the following relative
+paths :
+
+./
+../
+
+An URI starting with ./ or ../ is considered as a valid file URI, but the
+LocalPath property does not return a path that corresponds with the
+original URI.
+
+eg. ./testfile will become //./testfile
+
+Apparently MS.NET does not consider a path starting with .\ or ..\ a valid
+uri (and throws an exception in this case), but Mono does.  This is not a
+problem by itself, if the LocalPath property would return a valid path that
+actually corresponds with the URI.
+
+I attached a repro that demonstrates this behaviour.

+As far as I tried MS.NET 1.1, System.Uri is not designed to allow 
+relative URI as its argument. To specify relative URI, 
+
+- you have to pass "base URI" for another constructor new Uri (Uri 
+baseUri, string relativeUri), or
+
+- you have to wait for .NET 1.2, which has another constructor new 
+Uri (string uriString, bool dontEscape, bool allowRelativeUri).
+
+Of course System.Uri does not give the same results as MS.NET, but I 
+think its design principle is not to allow relative URI here.

+mmm, I wonder why it is "REOPENED" (at least looking at BUG Activity
+log). Well, now I close it with MS's stack trace for the test case,
+instead of my ambiguous comment.
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The
+format of the URI could not be determined.
+   at System.Uri.Parse()
+   at System.Uri..ctor(String uriString, Boolean dontEscape)
+   at System.Uri..ctor(String uriString)
+   at Mono.UriTest.Main()
