/bin/ls sorting bug?

Guys,

Hate to be the party-pooper, but this thread is starting to smell a bit odd. 
The smell reminds me of something... when I was a kid at school... during 
the break.... ahh, that's it. This thing smells like a bikeshed. :-)

For what it's worth the original patch looked good to me. The nanosecond 
patch is fine too. Please, no more intimate discussion of a command line 
flag that few people use, and if it doesn't work correctly now could have 
been worked around with a pipe to sort. 

I'm guessing the messed up order was because the files that were out of
kilter were the files being hard-linked to but don't have the time to check.  
So in some ways, the output was predictable. Either way, I say commit or let
it die... no... more... ls... :-)
