Is this a >2GB file?
If it is, and you think this is an LFS issue, one thing you could try is
to boot from either the Linuxcare bootable toolbox, or one of our system
installer CDs with "linux rescue" at the prompt, you should get an
LFS-capable environment that way...
If it's not LFS problems you're seeing, doing an strace of the ls
command might give us a clue where things are falling apart.
