strange symlink behaviour if / terminated

preliminaries : # mkdir -p /path/name /path/to # touch /path/name/file # ln -s /path/name /path/to/symlink # mv /path/to/symlink/ /other/location ^ note the terminating slash. move the target of the symlink instead of the symlink itself. same results w/ rm -r and cp -r.
