"Assertion failed" in mv

[Vladimir Mosgalin]

Hi.

Recently, while using mv, I got an error. I was running "mv" as root:

# mv ~mosgalin/files.cd/ ./files.cd
mv: basename.c:67: base_name: Assertion `all_slashes || *(p - 1) != '/'' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

After dump I got correct files in ~/files.cd, but directories in ~/files.cd was 
empty, and nothing was deleted from original place.

mv version is "mv (GNU fileutils) 4.0x".

You can find spec file used to build fileutils in attachment.

Happy bughunting!
