Symbolic Links / ls problem


Bash 2.02.1, cygwin b19.2 + binary mounts

Consider:    ln -s //c/temp /tmp

then, from bash type

	ls -l /tmp

which correctly outputs

	lrwxr-xr-x  [...snip...] /tmp -> ../../../temp

however

	ls -l /tmp/.

incorrectly outputs

	lrwxr-xr-x  [...snip...] /tmp/. -> ../../../temp

it should output the same as

	( cd /tmp ; ls -l )

ls -lL /tmp works as expected.
