May be related -- they both seem to involve UTF-8. The actual cause
of the above glitch seems to be in ls's sorting, though. It finally
dawned on me that the error was occurring even if I didn't redirect.
It was just getting lost in the reams of output!
Doing a 'find', I tracked it down to:
> ls /boot/system/add-ons/Tracker/
ls: cannot compare file names `Mark as\342\200\246' and `Open Target Folder-O':
Invalid Argument
Background-B Mark as Read-R Open Terminal-T
DiskUsage-I Mark asâ?¦ TextSearch-G
FileType-F Open Target Folder-O ZipOMatic-Z
It was obviously trying to sort the names "Mark as..." and "Open Target..."
without success. In fact if I use "ls -U ..." the error goes away.
So apparently ls will have slight problems with occasional Haiku-legal
names. Worth a ticket?
