Removed dired-ls-function. IT STILL CRASHES EMACS SOMETIMES!

;;;; WARNING:

;;;; Sometimes I get an internal Emacs error:

;;;;   Signalling: (wrong-type-argument natnump #<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL
;;;;   DATATYPE (#o37777777727) Save your buffers immediately and please
;;;;   report this bug>)

;;;;  Sometimes emacs just crashes with a fatal error.

;;;  RESTRICTIONS:
;;;; Always sorts by name (ls switches are completely ignored for now)
;;;; Cannot display date of file, displays a fake date "Jan 00 00:00" instead
;;;; Only numeric uid/gid
;;;; Loading ange-ftp breaks it

;;;; It is surprisingly fast, though!

;;;; TODO:
;;;; Recognize at least some ls switches: l R g F i
