             Bug #: 1935
           Summary: ls -l with wildcards produces incorrect output
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.8p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: sftp
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: jma at freedomcircle.com


This is probably best demonstrated with some sample output.  Issuing
the command:

sftp> ls -l localhost.access.log.?.gz

gives the following (abbreviated) output:

29787 Aug 31 02:24 localhost.access.log.2.gz
43664 Sep  1 02:23 localhost.access.log.3.gz
37122 Aug 29 02:23 localhost.access.log.4.gz
31291 Aug 26 02:24 localhost.access.log.5.gz
33117 Aug 27 02:22 localhost.access.log.6.gz
30870 Aug 30 02:24 localhost.access.log.7.gz
26787 Sep  2 02:23 localhost.access.log.8.gz
38128 Aug 28 02:24 localhost.access.log.9.gz

whereas ls -l reports the following (correct) data:

26787 Sep  2 06:23 localhost.access.log.2.gz
43664 Sep  1 06:23 localhost.access.log.3.gz
29787 Aug 31 06:24 localhost.access.log.4.gz
30870 Aug 30 06:24 localhost.access.log.5.gz
37122 Aug 29 06:23 localhost.access.log.6.gz
38128 Aug 28 06:24 localhost.access.log.7.gz
33117 Aug 27 06:22 localhost.access.log.8.gz
31291 Aug 26 06:24 localhost.access.log.9.gz

So it seems that the wildcard is munging the file size and timestamp in
some random manner.  The bad output also happens with an asterisk
instead of a question mark.

Client is 5.8p1 on Debian-7 x86.  Server is 5.5p1 on Debian-6 amd64.
