Summary: os.path.commonprefix incorrect result

Initial Comment:
After issuing:
os.path.commonprefix(['/etc','/etcd/hosts'])
The correct result should definitely be '/', but I'm
getting '/etc', which seems to me rather incorrect.
This can be quite nasty as '/usr/binary' and
'/usr/bin2' has a commonprefix of '/usr/bin', while the
correct should be '/usr' etc.
