While writing a VFS test case I discovered an issue in the make_absolute implementation for path with a //net style root. These are used in the VFS test cases because they are legal absolute paths on both Windows and unix.
NOTE: in the tests below, we use 'root/' as our root directory, since it is
// a legal *absolute* path on Windows as well as *nix.
The test worked fine for a regular Unix path, which led me to look at the implementation. The problem appears to be that we're trying to use the root name from the relative path, which I believe is incorrect.
