Bug in dired? (Still a bug in ediff-directories)

1. Since I started using ubuntu (and XEmacs 2.4.21), I see weird things in my dired buffer at the bottom: //DIRED// 66 67 121 123 177 178 232 253 //DIRED-OPTIONS// --quoting-style=literal Is that normal now (it didn't use to be so that I recall). I have the latest sumo packages installed (2009-02-17). 2. And I'm still haunted by the change in ediff-directories behavior that started a year or so ago (which I reported on this list but no one else had seen the problem then): M-x ediff-directories<rtn> minibuffer: "Directory A to compare:/path/to/di1/"<rtn> ;; <== note the trailing slash, didn't use to show minibuffer: "Directory B to compare:/path/to/"<rtn> ;; ditto minibuffer: "Filter through regular expression: "<rtn> minibuffer: <grating beep>"Directories A and B are the same:/path/to/di1/" If I delete the trailing backslash each time, the function proceeds as it always has (the delete '/' action on my part has become automatic now, but it is an irritant). Thanks for supporting such an incredible editor. -Tom Tom Browder Niceville, Florida USA _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
