strace of the touch..
brk(0x8050000) = 0x8050000
open(".viminfo", O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
utime(".viminfo", NULL) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "touch: ", 7touch: ) = 7
write(2, "creating `.viminfo\'", 19creating `.viminfo') = 19
write(2, ": File exists", 13: File exists) = 13
write(2, "\n", 1
) = 1
_exit(1) = ?
strace of the ls...
lstat64(".viminfo", 0x80580ac) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "ls: ", 4ls: ) = 4
