I don't think it's a missing package. I've been using cygwin succesfully
 for years and suddenly last week the "ls" command stopped working. I
haven't uninstalled or installed anything . All I've done recently is
apply the latest kernel package (1.5.24-2). I will repost the problem
along with cygcheck output
