Re-posting from the 2nd part of the bug description:

------------------------------------------
Note: How did I come around this bug, and who would use /../ in a path
specification anyway: vsftpd offers the nice trick of chrooting users to a part
of their home directory path - it simply stops processing the string as soon as
it sees '/./' So naturally all my users have homedirs like this: 
/home/webspace/<user>/./../../<user> where /home/webspace/<user> is world
readable and /home/<user> is not. The abovementioned bug breaks the use of %H.
