Hi


It jumps out that ff-find-other-file will create the expecting file name with an extra
trailling backslash, which makes the the newly opened buffer as directory.
This happens after I updated all the 3rd party packages to the
latest version. Although I havn't found out which package caused this
issue, but the following patch will fix it, and I think it makes
more sense to use read-file-name than read-directory-name
