ls problem in MacOSX Jaguar

[Carlo de Falco]

Hi,
I compiled octave 2.1.57 from source on macosx 10.2.8.
I get a strange behaviour for the "ls" command: sometimes it works and 
sometimes not
in an unpredictable fashion.

Someone experienced the same problem? Any idea what may be wrong?

Thanks,
carlo.
