Hi Bob,

Here is the result of that command;

$ ls -ld csf
drw------- 2 toil toil 4096 2013-02-05 19:26 csf


The result of running it with the trailing / aswell;
$ ls -ld csf/
drw------- 2 toil toil 4096 2013-02-05 19:26 csf/


So it seems that you may be correct.
That chmod fixes the problem, But it is still a bug that it does not
exit if it does have permissions, and has color on.


Thanks
