Subject: Minor bug in ls (timezone related) with patch

I discovered that whenever I listed a directory with a simple "ls -l"
(no arguments) command that the timestamps of the files were listed as
though I was in the Pacific timezone. After looking through the ls.c
code I discovered that it would alter argc and argv in the default case
(no arguments) to appear as though there was exactly one argument of
".". Unfortunately this seems to hose up the environment. Below is a
patch of what I changed on my sytem to fix it.
