 	* Version 5.3.0.
 
+	* ls now exits with status 1 on minor problems, 2 if serious trouble.
+	* NEWS: Document this.
+	* src/ls.c (LS_MINOR_PROBLEM, LS_FAILURE): New constants.
+	All uses of EXIT_FAILURE replaced with LS_FAILURE, unless
+	specified below.
+	(main): Initialize exit failure to LS_FAILURE.
+	(print_dir, gobble_file, get_link_name, xstrcoll):
+	Set exit status to LS_MINOR_PROBLEM if the failure is minor.

+	returns EOVERFLOW.
+	(usage): Explain exit status.
