ls -L [some symbolic linked file] not working

I recently had cause to try and use "ls -L file" to find the linked file. Its not working (I wanted to use the return string in a shell program).

Here is what I did to test this:

$ cd /tmp
$ cat > goop
hello world
$ ln -s /tmp/goop /tmp/foop
$ file foop
foop: symbolic link to `/tmp/goop'
$ ls -L foop
foop
$ ls -L goop
goop

Is this a known problem (ie should I create a bug report on it)?

David
