If you do an ls -ld directory/
for some existing directory then the output contains TWO trailling slashes: drwx------ 2 pypgcm users 4096 Aug 16 2005 directory// The directory and the first slash appear in blue on my terminal, trailing slash in black. Piping through something else does not supress the double slash. This does not happen if you produce the same entry using: ls -ld directory or: ls -l and pick out the appopriate entry. I believe this is a bug.
