someone's broken something.  it used to report the
path component.

% ls -l /tmp/pus /tmp/pus/pus
ls: /usr/brucee/pus: '/usr/brucee/pus' does not exist
ls: /usr/brucee/pus/pus: '/usr/brucee/pus/pus' does not exist

i'm sure the second used to say:

ls: /usr/brucee/pus/pus: '/usr/brucee/pus' not a directory

brucee
