When operating under 1.3, LS would crash for me on my A2000. Strangely enough, I would get a "Disk corrupt - Task held" message every time I did an LS in the root directory (or as Carolyn Scheppner would say "This disk drove DOS insane"!). The really weird thing was that if I accomplished a successful LS on a subdirectory somewhere on the root partition, then subsequent invocations of LS would NOT crash in the root partition!
