Greg, the patch (the second chunk, to be precise) below fixes the problem
that mkdir() is called with a trailing slash. The first patch is from you.
Please put in your collection of patches against KDE2.0 ;-)

Harri, do you think you can commit this to the KDE repository?
NetBSD (and maybe other Unices) doesn't allow mkdir(2) to be called
with a trailing "/" on the pathname. Thanks!

With this patch, KDE2 is a whole lot more usable on NetBSD. 8-)
