Did you also fix it to defend against "../" attacks, as Jon Corbet
subtly suggested?

I haven't examined either your code or Jon's approach to this problem
very closely.  Can you two figure out which version is better?  Or if
neither is a hands-down favourite, can one of you steal good features
and ideas from the other until there is a clear winner?
