That's because ls --color=3Dauto enables stat() to know how to color
names, where omitting it relies on plain readdir() to just list the
name.  So it's obviously the act of stat()ing one of the devices in that
directory that is making windows upset.  Can you narrow it down to which
object, by trying things like 'ls --color=3Dauto -d
/proc/sys/Device/[0-9]*' to limit to stat()ing just file names starting
with a digit, and so forth?  I couldn't reproduce your crash on my WinXP
system.
