Solaris 10 "ls" (both /bin/ls and /usr/xpg4/bin/ls) appends the slash.
1001-otter $ /usr/xpg4/bin/ls -d -F / /usr /usr/
// /usr/ /usr//
1002-otter $ /bin/ls -d -F / /usr /usr/
// /usr/ /usr//
1003-otter $ coreutils-5.93/bin/ls -d -F / /usr /usr/
// /usr/ /usr//
OpenBSD 3.4 /bin/ls is similar to Solaris 10.
So, if we change this, we'll introduce an incompatibility with
widespread existing practice. I'm a bit inclined to let sleeping dogs
lie, unless perhaps we're actually on a system where / and // are
different directories.
