It's not a bug; it is the way links work. A link between files

I think the issue is that this behavior seems to contradict what
the man page says:
-L If argument is a symbolic link, list the file or
directory the
link references rather than the link itself. This
option cancels
the -P option.
I think if you read that correctly (i.e., the way I do :-}), it says
that instead of seeing the *file information* for the symlink, as in
The file information in Unix file systems is divorced from the file
name.
