Ah, yes, I know that. What I meant was "that buggy ls's
output counts columns".

Ok. Then what should we do? I think checking version of
ls is too kludgy.
Please try this workaround. It avoids setting
`dired-filename' property if the next character of filename
is not a newline. I think it detects the problem of "ls" in
most cases by a low cost.
