directory_files question

[Duncan Patton a Campbell]

Howdy Daniel, all?

in the manual:

8.27.7  directory_files/2 

Templates

    directory_files(+atom, ?list)


but when I run it at the top level I get a returned value that
looks like a list with a single atomic term:

| ?- findall(X,directory_files('./',X),XL),length(XL,Xlen).

XL = 
[['.',..,'.X11-unix','.ICE-unix','.X0-lock','RDS_radiohack.pdf','sylpheed-1000','dbus-WzhE0SGfRy','09_11STSuspension_769-812.pdf',dat2,dat1,dat3,'tst.pl',sess_0cttvdcvgums3295asvm9d1h37,sess_d44nfu2622dvqmoasp8oc9l586,sess_dj3m8838or24rbr0mkq92p3l95,'dtest.txt','dtest2.txt','dtest3.txt',sess_81i8jaqoo1k6erhn8h7il5r1s1,tmp,sess_ggh80g6ccid64ifq80gdglt6p4,'dtest4.txt','dtest5.txt','dtest6.txt','dtest7.txt',sess_qte620mm4rvrqv9clh4n22v1j5,'mozilla-media-cache','2223797.3ff7eaf9d46f992646ac90a7097b4a96.mp3']]
Xlen = 1

This is the same for 1.40 on amd64 as for 1.3.1 on i386 so mebbe this is what 
is intended?

Thanks,

Dhu
