I have just discovered dircolors, and thought I would try it, however, I
have tried it on a number of machines and with a number of files,
including the default, and I always get
LS_COLORS='';
export LS_COLORS

This is not the behavior I want.  Is this a bug, or is there some flag I
need to supply to tell dircolors to actually work?
