4.1.1 Changes meaning of ls --classify

The 4.1.1 fileutils includes the following change in behavior.

ln -s /tmp foo
ls --classify foo

Under 4.1.1, this prints: "foo@"

Under 4.1 (and before, I believe), 'ls --classify foo' printed the
contents of /tmp.  This probably happened due to POSIX conformance or
adding the --dereference-command-line option, but IMO this new
behavior is a bug.

Thanks,
