Hi,
today I installed the GNU fileutils 4.1 on my Mac (Mac OS X 10.0.4, i.
e. Darwin 1.3.7) to get color file lists. I found that for all kinds of
long output of ls the first file in the output list was shown with the
current date and time and not with the correct date and time from the
files inode. The reason for this bug is that with Mac OS X
gettimeofday() overwrites the global buffer thats address is returned by
localtime(). But the ls output routine print_long_format() assumes that
this global buffer remains intact. I´ve fixed the bug with the following
patch for the source file ls.c.
Regards,
Bernhard Baehr
