Well, that helps to localize, but there's still a call to Fexpand_file_name (very complicated) and possibly file handlers (in the default state, usually Dired and EFS hook in there).

It appears that xemacs is causing ever remote dir I Neal> ever visited to be automounted. What the hell is it Neal> doing?!?!?! Dunno. Check the value of file-name-handler-alist and see if any of the regexps match the file and/or directory names you're trying to open. If not, it's probably in Fexpand_file_name, Ffile_truename, or xrealpath. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
