Subject: File.basename bug?

How often do people get bitten by this?
When operating on a file in the current directory, './' must be
prepended to a filename for File.basename to work...

or is this unexpected behavior?


$ cat bug.rb 
DATAFORMAT_VERSION=1

def processInputFile(inputFpath)
    puts "inputFpath #{inputFpath}"
    dirpath = File.dirname(inputFpath)

    outputfile = File.basename(inputFpath)
    outputfile.gsub!("pp_",'')
    outputfile = dirpath + '/' + 'SDF_' + "#{DATAFORMAT_VERSION}" + '_' + outputfile
    puts "outputfile #{outputfile}"
    puts "inputFpath #{inputFpath}"

end

processInputFile("pp_a_test_file_name")
