Changes not staged after git add

Question

Why would I get items in the Changes not staged for commit after I run git add .?

> git add .
> git st 

# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#   (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)
#
#       modified:   bin/ls-- (modified content, untracked content)
#

This is on Red Hat 4.1.2-50 with git 1.7.10.
