+       * src/ls.c [! LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK]: Use lstat wrapper.
+       [Notice the new configure-time test in m4/lstat-slash.m4. ]
+       (main): Back out change from 1999-02-19 that made ls remove
+       trailing slashes from command line arguments to accommodate early
+       versions of Linux.  Now, `ls symlink-to-dir/' acts like
+       `ls symlink-to-dir/.' thus following the symbolic link, as POSIX says
+       it should.  Suggestion from Bruno Haible and Andreas Schwab.
+
+       Make sure ls does the right thing with symlinks and trailing slashes.
+       * tests/ls/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add symlink-slash.
+       * tests/ls/symlink-slash: New test, for above-fixed bug.

+
+       * src/shred.c (wipename): When repeatedly renaming a file, making the
+       name shorter and shorter, skip to the next shorter length length if a
+       rename fails (e.g. due to permission denied).  Otherwise, this loop
+       would iterate for so long that shred would appear to be stuck in an
+       infinite loop for any but the shortest file names.
+       Reported by Joe Orton.
+
+       * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): Add tests/shred/Makefile.
+       * tests/Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add shred.
+       * tests/shred: New directory
+       * tests/shred/remove: New file.  Tests for the above-fixed bug.
