Thanks for the report.
Would you please see if you can reproduce the problem
using ls built from these unmodified sources?
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.2.1.tar.bz2
I'm pretty sure the version that comes with RH/Fedora includes
significant patches.
