ls.exe works OK in my XP machine. I'm using:

bash-2.04$ ls --version
ls (fileutils) 4.1
...

ls -F takes 1~2 seconds to show the content of c:\windows\system32 with 
1881 objects in my machine

ls.exe works OK with long filenames in my XP machine, without the

bash-2.04$ pwd
c:/
bash-2.04$ ls A*/A*
