[tech] client with broken resolution of references?

I'm seeing a lot of this sort of thing in my logs:

gemini://gemini.thegonz.net/gredig/v/fra/v/fra/v/intro.gmi

Context: /gredig/v is a cgi script which outputs text/gemini containing 
links "fra/v" and "intro.gmi".

This looks to me like the result of a client (or bot, but judging from 
timestamps I'm guessing an interactive client) which assumes that an URL 
without a '.' must be missing a trailing slash. Combined with 
molly-brown's behaviour of running the cgi script /foo if it exists when 
responding to a request for /foo/bar, this explains the log.

None of the clients I've tested behave like this, but I haven't tested 
many.
