Subject: disallow client names with slash '/' characters  
> odb.c rev 4622 fixes ODB corruption by db_connect_database() if client_name is

Related bug fix - db_connect_database() should not permit client names that contain
the slash (/) character. Names like "aaa/bbb" create entries /Programs/aaa/bbb (aaa
is a subdirectory) and names like "../aaa" create entries in the ODB root directory.

svn rev 4623.
