Question Linux ls -L Results

I seem to be somewhat baffled by the results of the -L option of the ls command on our new Linux system.

I have a symbolic link defined like the following:
ptmawpmfld.sqr as /u21/xxxx/m/moranp1/yyyy/fixpaths/tests20091218/awpmfld.sqr

When I issue the command ls -l ptmawpmfld.sqr, I see the usual symbolic link result.

When I issue the command ls -lL ptmawpmfld.sqr in our new Linux system, I see info for ptmawpmfld, rather than for awpmfld.sqr as I would expect from the info in the man pages for ls. (When I execute the same command on our old Tru64 system, I do get the info for awpmfld.sqr.)

Can someone explain what I am missing in my reading of the man page entry for the -L (or --dereference) option of the ls command?

Thanks, in advance.

Pat

CTRLALTDEL(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						     CTRLALTDEL(8)

NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset, which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8) program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation for the version that you are currently using. ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file. FILES
/etc/rc.local SEE ALSO
simpleinit(8), init(8) AUTHOR
Peter Orbaek (poe@daimi.aau.dk) AVAILABILITY
The ctrlaltdel command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/. Linux 1.2 25 October 1993 CTRLALTDEL(8)
