+Summary: GetFullPath mangles unix escapes
+
+Path.GetFullPath mangles unix filename escapes. This leads to eg.
+"/path/to/some\\file" being returned as "/path/to/some/file" . This is
+because in Path.cs GetFullPath uses CanonicalizePath which Split's the
+string on both DirectorySeparatorChar & AltDirectorySeparatorChar ('/' &
+'\') . The following testcase demonstrates :
+
+using System;
+using System.IO;
+class GetFilesBug {
+	static void Main()
+	{
+		string[] folders = {"test1", "test2\\\\file"};
+		
+		foreach (string folder in folders) {
+			Console.WriteLine(Path.GetFullPath (folder));
+		}
+	}
+}
+
+
+The output is :
+$ ./getfilesunix.exe
+/home/foser/test1
+/home/foser/test2/file
+
+The simple fix on unix is to only split on DirectorySeperatorChar (attached
+patch vs mcs-1.0.2), but I'm not sure how this would work out on windows.
