The real_pathdup() function will have removed extra slashes
for us already (on top of the normalize_path() done when we
created the alternate_object_database struct in the first
place).
Incidentally, this also fixes the case where the path is
just "/", which would read off the start of the array.
That doesn't seem possible to trigger in practice, though,
as link_alt_odb_entry() blindly eats trailing slashes,
including a bare "/".

I think the "/" thing in link_alt_odb_entry() is buggy, and it's an easy
one-liner fix. But I notice some of the rest of the code isn't ready to
handle "/" (mostly it just duplicates "/" when appending to the path),
so I left it for now (and I doubt anybody cares anyway).
