Hello,

Has anyone else noticed this?

Using NetBSD 1.4/i386, if I issue a command like:

  mkdir -p /seagate/netbsd/backups/daily

to create a new directory (and the netbsd/backups/daily part doesn't
already exist), mkdir will return an error message like:

  mkdir: /seagate/netbsd/backups/daily: Is a directory

and exit with a non-zero exit level. However, mkdir does successfully
create the directories if they didn't exist.

To further complicate this, I have noticed that this only happens when
using "mkdir -p" to create directories on my /seagate file system, 
which happens to be a MSDOS file system. If I do something similar, 
say for my /tmp (a memory file system), mkdir does not issue any error
messages and the directories are created, as they should be.

Anyone know why mkdir is working like this? It was not doing this when I
was running 1.3.3. 

Thanks,

Brian
