Subject: Minor 'mkdir' difference from b18 to b19...

Hello,

Has anyone noticed that the 'mkdir' in b19 doesn't work if the paramater has
a trailing slash?  It used to in b18...

So for example:
mkdir ./blah/
doesn't work, but
mkdir ./blah
does work.

The error on the first case is:
mkdir: cannot make directory `blah/`: No such file or directory

Like I say - both used to work in b18.  Any ideas, or is this a known bug?

This is a pretty minor issue, but it does cause problems with some scripts.

Thanks,
Jason
