Yeah, that was to get around how people don't add trailing slashes.  I'm
working up a fix that instead redirects to the / version, but haven't
worked out the logic yet.

I applied your patch and it all seems to work.  Grab the latest
pre-releases at:

  sudo gem install mongrel
--source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/

Hmm, that's probably right. I'll put it in my list of bugs to fix, but
feel free to work up a patch since you're probably the most advanced
DirHandler user right now.
