[IPython-dev] Ipython unicode error

Apologies if this is a duplicate post, the first one didn't seem to
appear...

Hi,

I tried to do a ls from within ipython and it exited:

In [30]: ls Output/scan-T=001

If you suspect this is an IPython bug, please report it at:
    https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues
or send an email to the mailing list at ipython-dev at scipy.org

You can print a more detailed traceback right now with "%tb", or use
"%debug"
to interactively debug it.

Extra-detailed tracebacks for bug-reporting purposes can be enabled via:
    %config Application.verbose_crash=True


I'm running 0.12.1. Is this a known problem? I'm reporting it as
requested. Let me know if you want more info.

John.
