Description Carlos O'Ryan 2002-06-17 12:07:30 CDT

The to_name() operation crashes with some (admitedly illegal) strings, for
example : "foo.bar.baz.quz/xxx"

The parsing code correctly counts the number of components based on '/'
characters, but then creates a component after each '.' character.  It should
verify that each component has only one '.' character and raise a BAD_PARAM
exception (or something more descriptive) if an invalid string is passed.

I will attach a patch that supposedly solves the problem.

Accepting.

I am adding this as a blocker for the 1.3 release.  Crashes in the Naming 
Service are pretty bad, and fixing this one should take no effort (since tested 
patches are readily available!)
