Please execute an "echo $PATH" within your login shell and check the
output.  If there is no trailing / there, something strange is
happening.  On my system, both "echo $PATH" and "(getenv "PATH")"
yields all component of my PATH without the trailing /.

PS: Sorry if you already made sure that the shell output is the same.

BTW: My Emacs is XEmacs 20.4
