I don't detect any virus from your email Pete. Why did you install F7 
twice? If it loads it is good I thought. I looked at man ls and it seems 
to be the same one from FC6 so far as I can see. What you show is the 
same thing from FC6 and F7 the difference being the date. On FC6 you get 
a USA standard date. On F7 you get the European date and that looks 
different. Both are accurate I think and I like the looks of the F7 line 
better :-)

I don't think it is a Bug.
