Subject: File.split on windows box appends a '.' to directory name

I'm exploring file path manipulation and discovered that on a windows box:

 >> File.split("C:a/b")
=> ["C:a.", "b"]

I would expect ["C:a", "b"], which is indeed what I get when running on 
Linux.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
