That's because ls --color=auto enables stat() to know how to color names, where omitting it relies on plain readdir() to just list the name. So it's obviously the act of stat()ing one of the devices in that directory that is making windows upset. Can you narrow it down to which object, by trying things like 'ls --color=auto -d /proc/sys/Device/[0-9]*' to limit to stat()ing just file names starting with a digit, and so forth? I couldn't reproduce your crash on my WinXP system. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
