>Description:
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...
