Summary: ls -C fails with 14-char file names

References:

I have a mere binary-licensed 3b2, so I can't investigate this
any further myself, but:

ls(1) has two options to produce multi-column output,
	-C for sorted down the columns
	-x for sorted across the rows

if *any* file in a directory has a full-length (14-char) name,
then these options fail, and a single-column output results.

Any hints or workarounds would be welcome.
