Details:

According to Apple's documentation the stringByDeletingLastPathComponent
method of the NSString class must only be used with file paths and not with
URLs. But SOGo and possibly other software uses it with URLs. Somewhere
between version 1.20.0 and 1.22.0 of GNUstep the
stringByDeletingLastPathComponent method started to replace consecutive
slashes by a single slash. For example,
"mysql://user:secret@localhost/sogo/foo" becomes
"mysql:/user:secret@localhost/sogo". I informed the SOGo project, but IMHO
GNUstep shouldn't replace consecutive slashes for the sake of compatibility
with earlier versions.
