 But you're looking up the parent of the file.  So if you call

 You're going to check that the parent is not '/', whereas before you
 were checking that the file is not '/'.  Clearly you want the latter.
 
 That's not to say the strcmp(path, "/') will be acceptable upstream,
 though. 
No, it's not.  It also doesn't mean much.  Think "///", or
"../../../".
These are user strings.  If it's an issue, better compare against
something sane like resolved internal data structure.
