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?
