Yes, this sounds right to me. The kernel should not pretend that there
are no attributes when there are attributes. If the kernel doesn't want
to tell us attribute names, it should return -1 and set errno to a value
saying "I don't want to tell you".
OK, given this is is an uncommon edge case
let's push for a kernel fix, rather than
a partial or inefficient workaround in ls.
Rahul can you report this to the appropriate kernel folks?
thank you,
