When you do a recursive listing (ls -R) ls will print out the directory name followed by a colon. Eg: /usr/bin: total 28322 etc. If there are non-printable characters in the directory name, they are printed rather than escaped. >How-To-Repeat: % mkdir /tmp/foo % cd /tmp/foo % mkdir ' ibebad:\ ha ha' % ls -BoTnilR >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
