Modern terminals support 256 colors. It would be great if ls --color
could take advantage of the higher number of colors to improve the
way things are displayed.
The 256 available colors can be seen by running the 256color2.pl
script that comes with xterm, or by running
env TERM=xterm-256color
I have been using this alias: lt = 'ls -lt | head'
for a long long time, on many systems.
On Fedora 7 I get this from time to time:
cd /usr/lib
lt
total 162508

drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 2007-10-31 00:11 firefox-2.0.0.5/

Nope, nothing.
Can you determine whether processes have SIGPIPE trapped somehow?
If so, that's the problem; and you can try to track that down.
For example, what does this shell command do

If it eventually outputs write error: Broken pipe, you have SIGPIPE
trapped, and that would explain your problem
