Stan,

If that's so, then you're not invoking "ls" directly or you're not invoking 
Cygwin's ls. (Both of those invocations work find for me, by the way.) 
Perhaps there's an alias, a function or a script intervening that's 
\defined under the assumption of a simpler (or simply an alternate) kind of 
invocation.

Assuming you're using BASH, use this command: "type -a ls" to discover what 
is being invoked when you issue an "ls" command. Make sure that either 
"/bin/ls" or "/usr/bin/ls" is in the list of "ls" commands. Then get rid of 
the incorrect or inappropriate ones, either by removing their definitions 
(if its and alias or shell function) or re-ordering your PATH so the proper 
"ls" is chosen instead of the bogus one.
