It's not safe to assume path separator or root character when walking up through parent directories. This can lead to an infinite loop in some cases and on some platforms. It's better to stop walking when the path is no longer getting shorter.
In this case, I simply break out of the loop when the old path and current path are the same. Alternatively, I could count characters and make sure it decrements on each iteration.
