problem with ls command (symlink traversal bug?)

[augiedoggie]

I've noticed that the 'ls' command is printing errors when listing certain directories, but the problem doesn't occur if you 'cd' to the directory and then list the files. (The problem also goes away if you 'unalias ls' or run /bin/ls)

For example:

~> ls /boot/develop/tools/gnupro
ls: cannot access /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/COPYING: Not a directory
ls: cannot access /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/COPYING.LIB: Not a directory
ls: cannot access /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/bin: Not a directory
ls: cannot access /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/i586-pc-haiku: Not a directory
ls: cannot access /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/include: Not a directory
ls: cannot access /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/info: Not a directory
ls: cannot access /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/lib: Not a directory
ls: cannot access /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/man: Not a directory
COPYING COPYING.LIB bin i586-pc-haiku include info lib man
~>

This also happens with other commands.

Examples:

~> listattr /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/COPYING
listattr: initialization failed for "/boot/develop/tools/gnupro/COPYING": Not a directory
~> listres /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/COPYING
listres: opening resources failed for "/boot/develop/tools/gnupro/COPYING": I/O error
~> rm /boot/develop/tools/gnupro/COPYING
rm: cannot remove '/boot/develop/tools/gnupro/COPYING': Not a directory
~> 

This was tested with real hardware at hrev30935 and with an alpha image from haiku-files at hrev30933

Fixed in hrev30937.
