Re: ange-ftp errors out for some directories

[Richard Stallman]

Looking at this part of the backtrace,

      run-hook-with-args-until-success(dired-noselect 
#("/ftp:homepages.demon.co.uk:/vol2/demon.co.uk/v/e/g/vegetable/" 0 27 nil 27 
60 (inhibit-line-move-field-capture t field output rear-nonsticky t) 60 61 nil))
      find-file-noselect("/ftp:homepages.demon.co.uk:~/" nil nil t)
      find-file("/ftp:homepages.demon.co.uk:~/" t)

I wonder what is the connection between the file name you opened,
which seems to be your home dir, and the directory
/ftp:homepages.demon.co.uk:/vol2/demon.co.uk/v/e/g/vegetable/ for
which the error occurs.
