Description 
The shell interpretes a trailing : on PATH as though it were :.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be interpreted the same way.

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:foo:bar -> .:foo:bar
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=foo::bar -> foo:.:bar
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=foo:bar: -> foo:bar (should be foo:bar:.)
Work Around 
Change empty path components to '.'.
