In GNU Emacs 18.55.6 of Mon Jun 25 1990 on icule (usg-unix-v)

The dired command does not seem to work for me *if* there is a file
named ls in the current directory.  Given:

	504) pwd
	/usr2/pinard/gnu/rmail
	505) v ls
	-rw-r--r--   1 pinard   other       34315 Feb  4 11:00 ls

a dired (C-x d) command will open a Dired window for rmail, having as
sole contents:

  Couldn't exec the program /usr2/pinard/gnu/rmail/ls
