It also breaks ls of symlinks.  E.g.:

    $ ls -lF /var/crash /var/crash/
    lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  8 Mar  5  2001 /var/crash@ -> /c/crash

    /var/crash/:
    total 145202
    -rw-r--r--  1 4294967294  wheel          2 Jan  9 14:44 bounds
    -rw-r--r--  1 4294967294  wheel    2630180 Jan  9 14:45 kernel.4
    -rw-r--r--  1 root        wheel          5 May 19  1994 minfree
    -rw-------  1 4294967294  wheel   14680064 Nov 24 21:06 vmcore.1
    -rw-------  1 4294967294  wheel    1048576 Nov 24 21:09 vmcore.2
    -rw-------  1 4294967294  wheel    7053312 Jan  7 14:16 vmcore.3
    -rw-------  1 4294967294  wheel  268435456 Jan  9 14:45 vmcore.4

I think the slash should be stripped in the output at most.
