This was found with server build #3632 on RHEL9.

Manually inserting such an input to tl-config and pressing enter works,
> $ tl-config /vsmagent/foo/bar//baz
> "qux"
and same with flag -a,
> $ tl-config -a /vsmagent/foo/bar//
> baz = "qux"
However, attempting to tab complete hangs the process and yields a traceback (already at root level),

Seems to be independent of where and how many the consecutive slashes are. For instance, this works through manual entry:
> $ tl-config -a /vsmagent/foo/////bar
> baz = "qux"
but similarly yields a crash when tabbing.

Unsure if this bug existed before bug 7940 was resolved.
