>Description:
	mkdir(2) will fail if given "foo/", mkdir(1) won't:

  9672 myth2_demo_2.1 CALL  mkdir(0x8307840,0x1c0)
  9672 myth2_demo_2.1 NAMI  "./.loki/"
  9672 myth2_demo_2.1 RET   mkdir -1 errno -2 No such file or directory

% ls -lad ./.loki
ls: ./.loki: No such file or directory
yui% mkdir ./.loki/



>How-To-Repeat:
	Try myth2-demo (http://209.223.115.151/products/myth2/)

>Fix:
	Dunno.

	mkdir(1) strips off trailing spaces, though:

                /* Remove trailing slashes, per POSIX. */
                slash = strrchr(*argv, '\0');
                while (--slash > *argv && *slash == '/')
                        *slash = '\0';

	Maybe the kernel should do so, too?
