Thanks for reporting it.  I can't reproduce the bug with Solaris 9 if
I used coreutils test version 5.3.0
<ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.3.0.tar.gz>,
so I'd guess the bug has been fixed.  Can you please give 5.3.0 a try?

Here's how I tried to reproduce the problem:

$ ./ls --version
ls (GNU coreutils) 5.3.0
