Thanks for the report, but it is too spotty to act on.  What is LS_COLORS
set to in these circumstances?  Are you competing with any aliases for ls?
 Also, which systems claim to support d_ino reliably?   And what are the
characteristics of 'test' (for example, is it executable)?  I suspect that
the difference here is whether or not ls had to do a stat, and whether or
not the d_ino was reliable when ls decided not to do a stat.
