Dear GNU folks

I believe I have found a bug in ls in the GNU coreutils v. 8.22.

My colleague and I found that 'ls' reported a different date for a gzipped log 
file when run with different options in a directory containing a large amount 
of data (1000MB).

In the full listing we saw that date next to a different file in the other 
listing.

`ls -ltcr` seems to be the one showing the correct date here. I like to use `ls 
-ltc` because it's my initials. My colleague was running `ls -lrt`.


$ ls -ltcr ludo*

$ ls -lrt ludo*

-rw-rw-rw- 1 pax pax 237817 Jul 18 12:30

I'm afraid I do not have the capability to test this on any later version of 
the coreutils.

Thanks & regards
