VERSION:	18.58.1
MACINE/OS:	SparcStation2 / SunOS 4.1.3

Dired cannot get contents of symbolic-linked directory.
For example, "C-x C-f /bin" shows as follows.

  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root            7 Oct 14  1990 bin -> usr/bin

This is solved getting directory contents by "ls -al <directory>/."
insted of "ls -al <directory>".

Here is patch.
