It's a bug - they obviously are not using filesystem independent
directory handling routines (ie ones that ultimately use the
getdents() system call to get directory entries) - I expect that
you will discover that find and tar don't work correctly either and
that ls truncates filenames to 14 characters (it probably also
dumps core on *very* long filename). Do shell filename metacharactesr
( * ? etc ) work correctly? They might be broken too...
