commit 254504fc1494b1ca4eea14eb71bd5b4b5d0d2765
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    Have get_parent_directory() handle "/foo" and "/" correctly.
    
    The parent of "/foo" is "/"; and "/" is its own parent.
    
    This would cause Tor to fail if you tried to have a PF_UNIX control
    socket in the root directory.  That would be a stupid thing to do
    for other reasons, but there's no reason to fail like _this_.
    
    Bug found by Esteban Manchado Velázquez. Fix for bug 5089; bugfix on
    Tor 0.2.2.26-beta.  Unit test included.
