Is there way to explicitly tell "ls -l" not to do this, I have to wonder?
POSIX.1 says that the file mode written under the -l option is
"%c%s%s%s%c" (where the first %c is for type, three %s are for owner,
group and other perm, and the last %c is "optional alternate access method
flag"). If there is no alternate or additional access control method
associated with the file, the "optional alternate access method flag"
would be a single SP, otherwise it would be a printable character.
If we drop the default ACL from the trash directory like Matt's patch
does, does a file created in there (i.e. the ones we check with /bin/ls)
still have "alternate or additional access control method associated with"
it?
Somehow it feels wrong that you need your patch, but if you do, stripping
only the trailing '+' as your patch does not look sufficient, either.
Shouldn't we be stripping the last letter if the length of actual is
longer than strlen("-rwxrwxrwx"), as any printable can come there?
