Is your version built against CVS? If it's built against djdev203, did you
apply the opendir.c patch?

How were you expecting it to behave?

I tried it with stock Fileutils 4.0 (built against 2.03) and the
symlink-enabled version I uploaded yesterday and I more than one file
listed, when doing an 'ls -agl' against my copy of djgpp/src/libc/.

I couldn't find '-g' in the Fileutils docs, but Unix98 says this:

    "-g The same as -l, except that the owner is not written."

Presumably the bug is that it does take noticed of '-g'. If so, I will
submit a patch to Jim Meyering.

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
