	It does not matter, blankly -current.

>Description:

	Look at How-To-Repeat.

>How-To-Repeat:

	# mkdir -p x/y/z/
	# rmdir -p x/y/z/	% Note on trailing slash. This command cannot
				% be bug, I think...
	rmdir: x/y/z: No such file or directory
				% Hmm. But directory z was removed, x and y
				% remain...

>Fix:
	
	Here is a small patch. But I don't think, it is the best solution:


	--- rmdir.c	Mon May  4 14:01:05 1998
	***************
	*** 94,99 ****
	--- 94,103 ----
	  {
	  	char *p;
	  
	+ 	p = strchr(path, '\0');
	+ 	while (--p > path && *p == '/')
	+ 		;
	+ 	*++p = '\0';
	  	while ((p = strrchr(path, '/')) != NULL) {
	  		/* Delete trailing slashes. */
	  		while (--p > path && *p == '/')
