test_commands.py was revised recently to look at the
root directory (/.) rather than the file (/bin/ls). A
regular expression comparison against /bin/ls was also
changed to refer to "/.". But that means "/" followed
by anything, not "/" followed by "."

It should have been changed to "/\.", as per this
patch.
