bash ending slash breaks stuff

Hello!

when using Bash expansion on directories, it will
print them with a trailing slash. this is problematic
on GNU because performing operations on these
directories will fail, eg:

# rm -r foo<tab>
# rm -r foobar/
# rm: cannot remove `foobar/': Invalid argument

in what way is this problem suposed to be fixed? will
trailing slashes be supported by the Hurd eventualy?

or do we have to fix bash not to add them? (note this
would be very annoying when using shell expansion
on multiple sub-directories)
