I would think is something were really hosed, I've be having other
problems, but I'm not. The only thing that isn't working - windows or
cygwin - is ls.exe.

My "sum -r" output, and the portion of the output from "cygcheck -svr"
on my box are 100% identical to yours.

Other than removing the ls.exe binary and converting it to a symlink for
dir, I don't know what to do.

Can you please check these md5sum's for me?

$ md5sum /bin/ls.exe /usr/bin/ls.exe /usr/bin/dir.exe
64e3dc0e3a5ef0eeeaa4f2e9b984844d */bin/ls.exe
64e3dc0e3a5ef0eeeaa4f2e9b984844d */usr/bin/ls.exe
60a0c7768052ec4306c3e0f680331afa */usr/bin/dir.exe
