This is similar to Mac OS X, which added a @ a few years ago.  Does the
attached patch fix the problem?

Also, how do I create an ls entry that shows a period?  (I've got a
Fedora virtual installation, so I should be able to reproduce, right?)

(I know you suggested using --dired.  I'll do that, too, but I'd still
like the builtin parser to work.)
