I also have been experiencing intermittent crashes when running both version 
4.0k and version 3.1 of ls.

To repeat the problem I:

Boot machine, ending with open shell.  Control-D at beginning of
startup-sequence does not change things.

type ls.

BOOM.  I get a disk corrupt requester.  God this scared me when it first
happened.  A reboot returns everything to normal.

My system:
Amiga 2000 rev 4.4 (I believe)
1.3 roms, 1.3 wb
1 meg  ram (512K chip, 512K fast)
HardFrame HD interface rev1.5
Quantum 105S drive with 105P controller

My prompt just reads 2.> when I do this.  A CD will return 105Meg:
if I CD to DH0: , the problem goes away.  (In fact, it I CD to anything, I can
use ls just fine.)
