 Unfortunately that is not the behaviour exhibited by ls.  Further,
 that was not the problem being reported, either.
 
 Both "ls /tmp/a/" and "ls /tmp/a" attempt to list the contents of the
 directory (as shown by the "Permission Denied" error.  The directory
 itself can by listed using "ls -d /tmp/a/" (or "ls -d /tmp/a").
 
 The actual bug being reported is a different matter, however:
 
 $ ls /tmp/a/
 ls: : Permission denied
   ^^^
 
 The name should not be blank here, it should be something like:
 
 $ ls /tmp/a
 ls: a: Permission denied
   ^^^^
