Nope. Not a bug in ls, but in your usage patterns. This is a FAQ: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#How-do-I-remove-files-that-start-with-a-dash_003f You meant to do 'ls -- *'. Or even better, since * expands to all the non-dot files in the current directory, and since ls does that by default, you could simply do 'ls'; this has the added benefit of avoiding another FAQ problem: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#Argument-list-too-long - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
