There really must be a Dired buffer somewhere---check in the listing
produced by C-x C-b.
There *is* a Dired buffer in the above scenario (I've
attached it to my
previous e-mail). It's just that I have a different buffer I'm working on in
the foreground; that buffer is having trouble being saved.
What's your value of `dired-use-ls-dired'? If it's t,
can you set it
to nil and see if anything changes?
No, the variable isn't defined.
