I found a bug in the 1.2 version of 'ls'.  I fixed it, and refrained from
posting the diffs, because I thought it might have been fixed in 1.3x.
It hasn't.  Here is the bug report.  The diffs will follow, as soon as I
get them off my home machine...

BUG:
	'ls' displays files beginning with '.'
	If I have a directory with the following files;
		.
		..
		.newsrc
		test
	When I type 'ls -l' I get;
		.newsrc
		test
	When I type 'ls -al' I get everything.  As I understand it, this is
	incorrect.  The .newsrc file should only be displayed if I use the
	-a option.  Does anyone have a comment on this?  I do not have first-
	hand experience on V7, but I *do* know this is wrong on BSD and SysV.
