dired bug

[Vinicius Jose Latorre]

Hi,


I'm using RedHat 8.0:

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.18-24.8.0 #1 Fri Jan 31 07:28:55 EST 2003 i686 
athlon i386 GNU/Linux

And:

GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2003-03-03 on localhost.localdomain


There is an error on dired-mode.  I have the following setting on my .emacs:

(setq dired-listing-switches " -laoF --sort=version ")

If I go to a directory like (using dired-mode):

  /home/vinicius/bin:
  total used in directory 8 available 64787596
  drwxrwxr-x    2 vinicius     4096 Aug 27  2002 ./
  drwx--x--x   42 vinicius     4096 Mar  4 18:54 ../


And then I type + (to add directory xxx), I got:

  /home/vinicius/bin:
  total used in directory 8 available 64787596
  drwxrwxr-x    2 vinicius     4096 Aug 27  2002 ./
  drwx--x--x   42 vinicius     4096 Mar  4 18:54 ../
/bin/ls: d: No such file or directory
  xxx:
  total 8
  drwxrwxr-x    2 vinicius     4096 Mar  4 20:28 ./
  drwxrwxr-x    3 vinicius     4096 Mar  4 20:28 ../
//DIRED// 66 67 118 120
//SUBDIRED// 2 5
//DIRED-OPTIONS// --quoting-style=literal


And typing g (to update dired buffer):

  /home/vinicius/bin:
  total used in directory 12 available 64787588
  drwxrwxr-x    3 vinicius     4096 Mar  4 20:28 ./
  drwx--x--x   42 vinicius     4096 Mar  4 18:54 ../
  drwxrwxr-x    2 vinicius     4096 Mar  4 20:28 xxx/


I got the following debugger message (setting debug-on-error to t):

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Listing directory failed but 
`access-file' worked")
  signal(error ("Listing directory failed but `access-file' worked"))
  error("Listing directory failed but `access-file' worked")

"/home/vinicius/bin/xxx" nil)
  dired-add-file("/home/vinicius/bin/xxx")
  dired-create-directory("~/bin/xxx")
  call-interactively(dired-create-directory)



I made some tests and found that if I set to:


   (setq dired-listing-switches "-laoF --sort=version")
or
   (setq dired-listing-switches " --sort=version -laoF ")
or
   (setq dired-listing-switches "--sort=version -laoF ")


The error still persists!!

But if I set to:


   (setq dired-listing-switches " --sort=version -laoF")
or
   (setq dired-listing-switches "--sort=version -laoF")


The error disappears!!!
