* coreutils.texi (base64 invocation): When decoding, newlines
@command{ls} uses tabs where possible in the output, for efficiency. If
@var{cols} is zero, do not use tabs at all.
+@c FIXME: remove in 2009, if Apple Terminal has been fixed for long enough.
+Some terminal emulators (at least Apple Terminal 1.5 (133) from Mac OS X 10.4.8)
+do not properly align columns to the right of a TAB following a
+non-@acronym{ASCII} byte. If you use such a terminal emulator, use the
+@option{-T0} option or put @code{TABSIZE=0} in your environment to tell
+@command{ls} to align using spaces, not tabs.
