EFS 1.12 bug: Getting ls of remote root

Ciao bugsters!

Spot the following debug stack. When you do a find-file for example,
on root's home directory (on machines where root's home is /)
somewhere along the line ~/ gets translated to //, which, as I have
found out before causes emacs problem (the //), in
read-file-name-internal (?). Is this a problem with emacs or efs/dired
?


* efs-ls("/" "-al" t parse nil)
  efs-get-files("/")
  efs-file-name-completion(".X" "/root@breeze://")
  apply(efs-file-name-completion (".X" "/root@breeze://"))
  efs-file-handler-function(file-name-completion ".X" "/root@breeze://")
  file-name-completion(".X" "/root@breeze://")
  apply(file-name-completion (".X" "/root@breeze://"))
  dired-handler-fn(file-name-completion ".X" "/root@breeze://")
  read-file-name-internal("/root@breeze:~/.X" "/root@breeze:~/" nil)
  minibuffer-complete()
* call-interactively(minibuffer-complete)
  read-file-name("Find file: " "/root@breeze:~/")
  (expand-file-name (read-file-name "Find file: " (default-directory)))
  (list (expand-file-name (read-file-name "Find file: " ...)))
* call-interactively(find-file)
