The patch only comes into effect when both -d and -F are specified. > I think the slash should be stripped in the output at most. Yeah, you're right. I also just found out ls(1) will accept ``ls /usr////////''. So, should all trailing '/' be stripped on output or is it not worth the effort/POSIX compliance/whatever ?
