&gt; What could be the problem here?<br>
<br>
</div>Are in GNU Emacs&#39; *shell* buffer any shell aliases defined? Is particularly your ls alias set? Which &quot;ls&quot; is found first for execution: your recursive alias definition (alias ls=&#39;ls --color=auto&#39; – which &quot;ls&quot; is which?) or the ls programme?<br>
