Hi, I noticed a bug introduced between version 4.0.37 and 4.1 of ls.
Per ASCII character sequencing, in which a hyphen (0x2D) precedes a period (0x2E), one would expect ls to present the files dhclient-script and dhclient.conf in that order. And that is what version 4.0.37 of ls does. However, version 4.1 reverses them, showing dhclient.conf before dhclient-script. Ditto for files such as cron.weekly and crontab. Again version 4.0.37 displays them in the expected order, while version 4.1 reverse them. Based on the above behaviors, it appears as if a period character is regarded by ls version 4.1 as if it didn't exist within the filename. Any comments on what is happening?
