Fwd: wrong color for broken symlinks

[Andreas Frische]

hi,

as of ls (GNU coreutils) 6.9 this bug is still not fixed.

ls --color | od -tx1z
0000000 1b 5b 30 30 6d 1b 5b 30 31 3b 33 36 6d 74 65 73  >.[00m.[01;36mtes<
0000020 74 1b 5b 30 30 6d 40 0a 1b 5b 6d                 >address@hidden<
0000033

ls --color test | od -tx1z
0000000 1b 5b 30 30 6d 1b 5b 34 30 3b 33 31 3b 30 31 6d  >.[00m.[40;31;01m<
0000020 74 65 73 74 1b 5b 30 30 6d 40 0a 1b 5b 6d        >address@hidden<
0000036

Hmm... that's interesting...


I just tested:
coreutils 6.6 on NFS server A on RHAS4 (i*86)  - broken.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS4 (i*86)  - broken.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS5 (i*86)  - broken.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS5 (x64)   - broken.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on RHAS3 (x64)   - works.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on Sol10 (x64)   - works.
coreutils 6.9 on NFS server B on Sol7  (sparc) - works.

...so I guess it's still spotty.
