/bin/ls bug?

[Ricardo Branco]

Hi!

Why is it that /bin/ls has the following behavior?

$ mkdir /tmp/a
$ chmod 000 /tmp/a
$ ls  /tmp/a/
ls: : Permission denied
$ ls /tmp/a
ls: a: Permission denied

I think the most sensible way is to use basename() and use the last 
component for the error message rather than just printing whatever exists 
after the last slash...

I'm seeing this problem in both FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE & FreeBSD 
5.4-RELEASE.

Salutes,
R.
