That fix broke the established behavior of the plugin_basename() 
function, which is to return the filename and possibly one level of 
directory name for a plugin file that is passed to it.

When you stripslash on IIS, it often removes the slash that should be there.

If a plugin has a problem with using the function, it is a plugin issue, 
not an issue with the plugin_basename() function, though it might be 
worthwhile to see if this can be accounted for in some other way.
