The path to the directory is  /cygwin/home/CHamilto/test. The ls -l
listing (when it works) is...

$ ls -l
total 49120
drwxr-xr-x+  2 CHamilto Domain Users        0 Feb 20 15:54 ./
drwxr-xr-x+ 18 CHamilto Domain Users        0 Feb 20 15:54 ../
-rwxr-xr-x   1 CHamilto Domain Users 50297564 Feb 20 12:22 test.wav*
$ pwd
/home/CHamilto/test

CYGWIN was not set when I ran it as you can see below.

$ set | grep CYGWIN
$

I downloaded the source for coreutils and see that in ls.c the same
source code is used to compile ls, dir, and vdir. The strange thing is
that dir and vdir never fail. Only ls does. I haven't figured out how to
compile with the debugging info yet.
