Subject:	recent cygwin reinstall yields ls problem
X-UCSC-CATS-MailScanner:	Found to be clean

i recently reinstalled cygwin.
now i find that the ls command
does not work in some directories.

when i give the commands

   cd /usr/local/c
   ls

here is what gets printed on the screen:

   drwxr-xr-x: not found
   -rw-r--r--: not found
   drwxr-xr-x: not found
   drwxr-xr-x: not found
   drwxr-xr-x: not found

   -rw-r--r--: not found
   -rw-r--r--: not found
   -rw-r--r--: not found
   -rw-r--r--: not found

on the other hand, if i give the commands

   cd /usr/local
   ls c

here is what gets printed on the screen:
