It creates new file, it does insert the file in Dired buffer, but the
file is double to previous one. It starts appearing as following:

  -rw-r--r-- 1  22K Dec 21 09:54 rcd-org-export.el
  -rw-r--r-- 1  22K Dec 21 21:50 rcd-org-export.elc
  -rw-r--r-- 1  22K Dec 21 21:50 rcd-org-export.elc
  -rw-r--r-- 1  22K Dec 21 21:50 rcd-org-export.elc
  -rw-r--r-- 1  22K Dec 21 21:50 rcd-org-export.elc

That is problem, I can't know when and why is that happening. It is
probably not related to byte compile. I have observed this for a year
or longer.

I use latest from git.

I also use dired-x

and I use switches:

-gohl --group-directories-first

Tell me directions on how to find what is happening the next time it
happens.
