idefix is not my machine. ;) But it's the same (yet unreleased) MiNT
distribution.

I did not start up MultiTOS for weeks. But as I can see the files with
the mupfel's built in ls, it really seems to be a bug in minixfs or
MiNT. I don't beleive it's a bug in the fileutils-port, since neither
'echo *' nor tcsh's built in 'ls-F' see the files.

Me, too! ;)

I've set UNIXMODE to "/brUs". What are `c' and `u'? I assume they are
only recognized by the braindead old GNU lib, right? None of my
executables are linked with the GNU lib (either recompile or throw
away them).
