I couldn't find any reference to this in the FAQ:
Under bash, b19, there is a phantom file "aux" that does not exist,
but affects things such as "ls" and "tar".
As an example:
bash-2.01$ ls -l aux
crw-r--r-- 0 0 everyone 0, 0 Dec 31 1969 aux
This works in any directory. One cannot name other files "aux". The
command:
touch aux
hangs the shell.
I hope this information is useful.
