I'm not sure what the parenthetic remark "if implemented correctly"
means, but libc basename() has this in it:

	char *
	basename(const char *path)
	{
		static char *bname = NULL;

		if (bname == NULL) {
			bname = (char *)malloc(MAXPATHLEN);
			if (bname == NULL)
				return (NULL);
		}
		return (basename_r(path, bname));
	}

which means that it is not only not thread-safe, it also
imposes restrictions on pathname length.

I recently wrote a pair of can-be-thread-safe yet can-be-
unlimited-path-length yet can-be-backwards-compatible basename
and dirname functions (I tested to see if they produced the same
errno's and oddball outputs like for dirname("///")).  I'll toss
them in here in case anyone has some enthusiasm for fixing the
mess.  Of course they are equally non-standard, unless we can
convince a future POSIX committee or something.

(I also wrote some halfway useable reentrant getpw* and getgr*
functions but they need more thought and do not play well with
nsswitch so I am not including them here.  NB: rfuncs.h just
contains declarations for these reentrant r_* functions.)
