>Description:
	/bin/ls fails to set the correct exit value when it can't stat a file.
	This is true for all the NetBSD platforms I have.
	
	Snip from the man page for ls:
	[..]
	The ls utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
	[..]

	FreeBSD 3.0, Linux (slackware & debian) sets $? to 1. 
	Solaris, HP-UX, Tru64, CLIX, UNIX v7 sets $? to 2. 
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	Correct:
	ls /etc/passwd
	/etc/passwd
	echo $?
	0
	
	Wrong:
	ls doesntexist
	ls: doesntexist: No such file or directory
	echo $?
	0
