Yeah (6 am, now). I couldn't sleep.

and yes, with the trailing slash, I get the same results as you
ls -l /etc/make.profile/
totaal 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 portage portage 120 jan 21 2005 2.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 679 mrt 29 00:35 packages
-rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 343 dec 3 2004 parent
... but that makes sense to me, because the first command is ls-ing the
symlink only (thus gives the properties of the symlink, as ls always
does if you specify a single file), and the second command (with the
slash) is ls-ing the contents of the symlink, which in this case happens
to be a folder.
I think I thought that you were getting the contents when you weren't
ls-ing the folder, but only the symlink.
I should probably get some sleep, then, huh?
