Severity: minor

If some (sub)directory contains a dangling symlink, "ls -L" (i.e.,
"ls --dereference") shows that entry differently from other files
in the directory:

$ file subdir/nowhere
subdir/nowhere: broken symbolic link to `/tmp/nowhere'
$ /bin/ls subdir
nowhere  other
$ /bin/ls -L subdir
other  subdir/nowhere
$ /bin/ls -lL subdir
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 kimoto kimoto 0 2007-09-16 17:41 other
?--------- ? ?      ?      ?                ? subdir/nowhere

It seems inconsistent that it should say "subdir/nowhere" rather than just
"nowhere" as it would do for other entries.
