This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
In XEmacs 21.4 (patch 3) "Academic Rigor" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32) of Thu May 17
2001 on SHALOM
configured using `configure UNKNOWN'
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Not sure if I report this before, but...
For some reason that I haven't isolated, Dired often (but not always)
fails to reuse a buffer. That is, if I run dired on a directory, then
quit that buffer, then re-dired the directory, Dired will create a new
buffer ("dir<2>") rather than reuse the old buffer ("dir").
This
doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen (for me) most of the
time.

Please do 'M-x dired-report-bug' so the Dired boys and girls can track
the bug down.

I think this problem is related to differing buffer-file-name for the
same directory.

Dired bugs are best reported using M-x dired-report-bug RET. Besides
going to the right address, this also includes a wealth of useful
information that might help fix the bug.
