Hi,
When i had the --color option to the 'ls c:' command line, i obtain the 2
followings lines:
ls: c:/hiberfil.sys: No such file or directory
ls: c:/pagefile.sys: No such file or directory
Note: c:/hiberfil.sys & c:/pagefile.sys are 2 existing files... displayed
when i remove this option!

My WAG is that with --color, ls is opening files to look at the first
few bytes in an effort to determine what type of file it is. You do not
have permissions to open C:/hiberfil.sys nor c:/pagefile.sys so it fails.

Yes, these 2 files are unreadable! But, IMHO, 'ls' should not fails, and
displays the unreadable files without color!
