Perhaps I am missing something, but according to POSIX (IEEE 1003.1, System
Interfaces, Issue 6, p. 1248):

SYNOPSIS
	#include <unistd.h>

	int
	rmdir(const char *path);

DESCRIPTION
	...
	If the directory is the root directory or the current working
	directory of any process, it is unspecified whether the function
	succeeds, or whether it shall fail and set errno to [EBUSY].

	...
	If the path argument refers to a path whose final component is
	either dot or dot-dot, rmdir() shall fail.

Or is this case closed and i should try to fix pax?
