Documentation says the following:

-d, --directory :: list directory entries instead of contents, and do not 
dereference symbolic links

and

-R, --recursive :: list subdirectories recursively

And this is what i get when i use ls -dR /

$ ls -dR /
/

I even tried

ls -d --recursiv -R -R -R -RRRRRRRRRRR /
/

The -R switch stand-alone works fine

Im using the coreutils 8.19 package from Archlinux
