>  ``ls -dF /usr////////////////''. It seems like ls(1) (or rather the fts_* family of functions) doesn't care how many trailing '/' there are. Is this a possible bug in fts_*? Anyone know what POSIX has to say about this?
 
POSIX says that consecutive slashes, after the first component in a
path, do not change the meaning of the path.
