Why? Can't you use the cvs programme to update the source code (M-x  
cvs-up RET)? And which Linux variant is the package?

Launching GNU Emacs with -Q and then typing M-x eshell RET to invoke  
the ls command finally produces no failure in Mac OS X 10.4.11 with  
Athena/Xaw3d or in Aqua/GNUStep clothes.

Is your disk OK or has it some self-modifying active sectors? Can you  
you launch GNU Emacs from a shell with minimal environment and LANG/ 
LC_* set to a minimal C? IMO your GNU Linux system is defective – or  
do you have some "customisation" file/RC file for eshell? Eshell,  
term, or shell always load their RC files since they're loading an  
external shell interpreter. I prefer to use *shell* and in it tcsh,  
so when I launch GNU Emacs with -Q and then start the *shell* buffer/ 
process it at once loads ~/.emacs_tcsh. And tcsh *obviously* load its  
RC files since I have aliases!
