I ran into a cosmetic problem using ls when you're in a mount point, mount
something there, and then try to ls it. It works fine if you cd back into
the mount point, however.
on some first vt, with nothing mounted at /mnt...
b64952:~$ cd /mnt
b64952:/mnt$ ls
b64952:/mnt$
then on another vt....
b64952:~# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
b64952:~#
back to the first vt...
b64952:/mnt$ ls
/bin/ls: 00_TRANS.TBL: No such file or directory

/bin/ls: UPGRADE.TXT: No such file or directory
b64952:/mnt$ cd /mnt
b64952:/mnt$ ls

my version info....
b64952:~$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
b64952:~$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (i386-slackware-linux-gnu)

b64952:~$ ls --version
ls (GNU fileutils) 4.0
I tried this under tcsh as well, and got identical results.
