---------------------------------------------------+------------------------
 The attached program shows that basename is broken.
 I've tried 1.33.1, where it prints (as I would have expected):

 a a b b c c d d e e

 Using 1.35.0, 1.40.0, 1.42.0, it prints:

 a  b / c  d  e

 Observe the exceptional behavior of basename("a/b/") returning "/".

 IMHO, basename's behaviour shouldn't differ from Posix's basename.
