bug#5528: 23.1.92; Eshell: ls -l *

[Leo]

I am confused by the following two different outputs.

In eshell, if I run 'ls -l', the user and group are shown as in this
example:
,----
|  -rw-r--r--   1 leo            staff     559 May 22  2009 metapost.mp
`----
and the file name 'metapost.mp' is using eshell-ls-readonly face.

If I run 'ls -l *' instead, user and group id are shown as in this
example:
,----
|  -rw-r--r--   1 502            20            559 May 22  2009 metapost.mp
`----
and the file name 'metapost.mp' uses no faces.

So it seems there's a bug in eshell somewhere to make 'ls -l *'
inconsistent with what one gets when running it in terminal.
