- Subject: ls output still truncated
Folks I could really use some help here. I still cannot get the ls
command to work reliably. It worked for years and about two weeks ago
started sputtering. I have completely unstalled all cygwin packages,
deleted the directories, and reinstalled from scratch. Even just
installing the bare mimimum packages and running a bash shell without X
or even a .profile, ls still fails to output anything 50% of the time.
One other observation I've made is there's a similar program named
"dir.exe" in the /usr/bin directory. It seems to do pretty much the same
thing as ls. In fact the file sizes and timestamps are even the same. It
works every time. I could just alias ls=/usr/bin/dir but that seems more
like a work-around rather than fixing the real problem. Can anyone help
with this? TIA
