Description:
------------
Running recursive mkdir fails when there is a "." directory in the path:

    <?php mkdir('a/./b', 0755, true) ?>
    PHP Warning:  mkdir(): File exists in Command line code on line 1
    Warning: mkdir(): File exists in Command line code on line 1

When a does not exist, "a" is generated, but "b" is not.
When a exists already, everything is fine.

Note that I cannot use realpath() to sanitize the path because the path does not exist yet.

Test script:
---------------



Actual result:
--------------
$ /opt/phpfarm/inst/bin/php-5.3.6 -v

Fixed in 5.4 and trunk.

5.3 requires more work, can be done later but most probably post 5.3.7.
