[C++] file.name() corrupts its arg

p = "a/b/"
file.name p
print "[" + p + "]"  // prints: "[a/b"  -- no closing "]"

Probably found the trouble maker (from man 3 basename on Linux):

Both dirname() and basename() may modify the contents of path, so it may be desirable to pass a copy when calling one of these functions.

Yes. strdup() fixed the issue on my machine.
