`mkdir -p dir' ignores the return value for the last
path component. 


>How-To-Repeat:

$ mkdir -p /var/mkdir/dir; echo $?
mkdir: /var/mkdir: Permission denied
1

ok, but:
$ mkdir -p /var/mkdir; echo $?
0

should be '1' and print 'Permission denied'


>Fix:

The bug exists since revision 1.2 mkdir.c 1994/09/08 author: jkh
