Hello,

Another thing that some of you got points taken off for was the case
where

$ ./ls -d
$ 

did not list the current working directory (ie ".") the way ls(1) does:

$ ls -d
.
$ 

If your program did do the following:

$ ./ls -da
.
$ 

then you got another point returned to you, since I agree that there is
some confusion about how to handle such a case.

(And I'll note that this might be a good example of asking for
clarification as well comparing to what the reference implementation
does.)

-Jan
