1,2,3. the code:

File f = new File("c:\\a\\b");

shows
getParent() c:\a -- as expected,
getAbsolutePath() c:\a\b (also as expected)
getCanonicalPath() c:\a\b (also as expected)

but the code

File f = new File("c:\\a\\b\\");

shows
getParent() c:\a\b -- an ERROR
getAbsolutePath() c:\a\bgetCanonicalPath() c:\a\b (the same as parent!)

4. N/A

5. It might seems like bug 4065506 but it is different errorneous behaviour!
