ls sgid/suid color bug

[Grant McWilliams]

I've run across behavior that I've never noticed before in setting up a
Linux class.

If I create an suid/sgid executable it shows bright red or orange but only
until I change ownership
of the executable. If I then change ownership of the executable back to the
original owner root:root
the colors don't return and it looks like a standard executable file. Bug?

I've duplicated this on SUSE 10 and CentOS 4.2.

Here's my lscolors...

Windows."
Now they have two problems.
