ls bug?

[Fady Habra]

Hello,

I've just installed linux 2.4.4 and, much to my dismay, noticed the
behaviour of ls has changed. Indeed, it would seem the leading dot in
dotfiles is ignored when ls sorts its output. The result is a mess of
regular files interspersed with dotfiles. I hope you realize how much of
an impact this can have on scripts which rely on the standard behaviour
of ls.

Please advise.

Thanks,

- Fad
