At this point, I'd be inclined to get the source for ls, build a 
version with debugging enabled, and use gdb.  I've never used gdb 
under Cygwin, so there may be some reason it isn't as useful under 
Cygwin as it is under, say, Linux.  In that case, you could add a 
few printfs to see what's happening.

Just my $0.02,
Gary
