If any paths returned from specialFolderPath() end in "/" that should be
reported so it can be addressed ASAP. So many things will start to
break if that's the case, so I'm sure the team would want to jump on
that quickly.
The recipe should be simple enough, just running this in the Message Box:
put specialFolderPath("preferences")
If the trailing "/" is there please report it, and if not we'll need to
figure out how it got there in your script.
