Description:
------------

From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.realpath#Changelog
---
The sentence : "Prior to this release realpath() would not fail on *BSD systems if only the last path component did not exist. " is completely meaningless. Please rewrite it !

realpath("/etc/this-file-does-not-exists"); used to return /etc/this-file-does-
not-exists on BSD systems.
as of 5.3.0 this is no longer the case.

This sentence is (IMHO) more clear. (and understandable !)
Hope it will replace the incomprehensible sentence in the documentation.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
