Really strange... I did use C Shell on FreeBSD 7-STABLE.

	% mkdir -p a/dir1/new a/dir1/cur
	% mkdir -p b/dir1/new b/dir1/cur
	% mkdir -p c/dir1/new c/dir1/cur
	% ls -ld */dir1/new

I did try BASH too, with same result as above - works. The calls
to mkdir and ls refer to programs, not to shell internal commands.
The only problem could be the * wildcard that the shell would
have to expand before calling the actual ls program...
