Error using TRAMP to visit a directory

[Alan Hadsell]

I receive an error when I try to visit a directory with TRAMP (2.1.5)
with GNU Emacs (22.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-06-02 on
RELEASE).  The target system is a CentOS GNU/Linux system.  I get the
following backtrace when I set debug-on-error:

`----

It appears to be trying to format the user name ("al") with format
"-8d", which certainly isn't going to work.  Not sure why the data is
not in the expected format.
