bug in file-name-sans-extension?

[Dan Sommers]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

In GNU Emacs 20.6 (Macintosh)
 of Thu Oct 18 2001 on Waffle

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

The function file-name-sans-extension doesn't work as I expected
when I give it a file name like "/directory/.emacs":

(file-name-sans-extension "/directory/.emacs")
"/directory"

I think, in this admittedly degenerate case, that the function
should return the whole file name, as if given a file name
without an extension:

(file-name-sans-extension "/directory/emacs")
"/directory/emacs"
