+Summary: On *nix System.IO.DirectoryInfo.Parent returns null for the root folder instead of /
+
+On a *nix system System.IO.DirectoryInfo.Parent returns null for the root
+folder /.
+
+This means that you can only get a directory beneath the root folder with 
+DirectoryInfo.Parent but not the root folder itself.
+
+To reproduce it run the FileDialog MWF sample in:
+
+/trunk/winforms/filedialog
+
+Click the second toolbar button on the toolbar in the upper right corner to
+get one directory up. It doesn't leave the /home folder.
