Trailing slashes should be stripped before checking the database to see if the page exists. It's a fairly common screwup to put a trailing slash on the end of a URL, and it's all Apache's fault for being so anal about them!
At the moment we have the following - one trailing slash : generates another page - - see examples from bug 2343: navigation to parent pages of a subpage - two trailing slashes and more trailing slashes : probably depending on the server - - see bug 2088: Consecutive /s merged in PATH_INFO URLs on Apache 2 [[en:User:Gangleri/sandbox/#bugzilla:03368_Trailing_slashes]]

Not sure if bug 12703 is a dupe, if so, this bug should probably be duped to it (as that one has much more activity).
