1.7.9/WinXP: dircolors error


Running the following:
? dircolors -b > .dircolors
? dircolors -b .dircolors
results in the error:
? .dircolors:1: invalid line;? missing second token

This works just fine on a Win7 installation of the same 1.7.9 
version. Couldn't find anything more recent than a 2006 reference to 
this error in the list archives

I did find that modifying and using the Mandrake /etc/DIR_COLORS file 
as follows:
? cp /etc/DIR_COLORS ~/.DIR_COLORS
? dircolors -b ~/.DIR_COLORS
works just fine

Thanks...jon--
