The `[^/]+/` match pattern requires at least on non-slash character before the trailing slash. This works on Windows where absolute paths start with a drive letter. With absolute POSIX paths, the leading slash is skipped by this pattern causing the accumulated `dirStr` to not start with a slash. `dirStr` is then interpreted as a relative path, causing the directories to be erroneously created in the current working directory. This change fixes the erroneous behavior with absolute POSIX paths by initializing `dirStr` with a slash if the `fullPath` starts with a slash. It retains the current behavior on Windows systems.

@stevschmid you might be interested in this since you had to apply the same patch to make the macOS port work. |
