I have never seen this in any Korn shell I've used (and I've used many versions).
What OS are you using (uname -a) and what version of ksh are you using (ksh --version)?
Note, however, that unless you're using an OS that treats //xxx as a reference to machine xxx on your local network, the extra leading / won't have any adverse effects.
If you change the script to:
does it do the same thing?
Probably a very straight forward question but please be easy on me, I am v. new to UNIX!
A script that I have runs the line
tmp=`pwd -H`
It works fine, but I needed to make a couple of other changes to the script, nowhere near this line but now this line reports:

Hi Everyone,
I am confused on why the below snippet of code is not working as I intend it to do. I have googled and confirmed that "exit" is supposed to abort the execution of the script regardless if the exit was called from inside a function, or the main body of the script.

pwd
PWD(1) BSD General Commands Manual PWD(1)NAME
pwd -- return working directory name
SYNOPSIS
pwd [-LP]
DESCRIPTION
pwd writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the standard output.
The following options are available:
-L If the PWD environment variable is an absolute pathname that contains neither "/./" nor "/../" and references the current directory,
then PWD is assumed to be the name of the current directory.
-P Print the physical path to the current working directory, with symbolic links in the path resolved.
The default for the pwd command is -P.
pwd is usually provided as a shell builtin (which may have a different default).
EXIT STATUS
The pwd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO cd(1), csh(1), ksh(1), sh(1), getcwd(3)STANDARDS
The pwd utility is expected to be conforming to IEEE Std 1003.1 (``POSIX.1''), except that the default is -P not -L.
BUGS
In csh(1) the command dirs is always faster (although it can give a different answer in the rare case that the current directory or a con-
taining directory was moved after the shell descended into it).
pwd -L relies on the file system having unique inode numbers. If this is not true (e.g., on FAT file systems) then pwd -L may fail to detect
that PWD is incorrect.
