He he... I used ls to give a quick and dirty example of the problem, so
other persons in this NG could more easily check the behaviour. Code
snippets, even when short, require people to copy, paste to an editor,
compile, run, analyse the result(s), and report back.

In the last paragraph of my post, I mentioned that this was the same
behaviour I 'm experiencing when we use fnsplit and fnmerge, where the
problem was detected at first at all.

Anyway, for the information of the NG, the Tom's suggestion worked in our
environment, and since that by now the programs using this feature are to be
used internally in this dept. the workaround suffices. Again thank you for
advising it is not a universal solution.
