Summary:                    dirname does not eliminate duplicate '/' character
(mismatch with coreutils)
Description: 
Coreutils behavior:

$ dirname '//'
/

Busybox behavior:

$ ./busybox dirname '//'
//


Note that both behave identically when given more slashes, e.g.,:

$ dirname '/////' # coreutils
/

$ ./busybox dirname '/////'
/
