It is only allowed if the list of search paths includes a backslash or
slash on the same position (the user is responsible to ensure this does
not cause any problem) or if the path starts with something that is a
complete allowed search path (for which the user is responsible, too).
I do not know of any problem this introduces on up-to-date systems that
are affected by the change.
