1.7.9/WinXP: dircolors error

Running the following:
? dircolors -b > .dircolors
? dircolors -b .dircolors
results in the error:
? .dircolors:1: invalid line;? missing second token
This works just fine on a Win7 installation of the same 1.7.9
version. Couldn't find anything more recent than a 2006 reference to
this error in the list archives
I did find that modifying and using the Mandrake /etc/DIR_COLORS file
as follows:
? cp /etc/DIR_COLORS ~/.DIR_COLORS
? dircolors -b ~/.DIR_COLORS
works just fine
Thanks...jon--
