Hi Ben, no, this is not a new problem. It has been around in 21.5 and 21.4 for a long time. Stephen put in a workaround for 21.4 which probably isn't the right solution for 21.5.

Ben> stephen, can you explain a bit as to what's going on here and Ben> what you did? that would help me a lot if i go in and try to Ben> fix it right. This I can explain. See below. The tests/automated/mule-test.el failures: This I can't, that's why I referred it to you. I haven't any idea yet what's going on with Mule in 21.5; if the test is not failing in 21.4 (and it's not), I'll need to book up a lot to figure it out. The dired / truename stuff: What's happening to Adrian is that under Windows 2000, native build (you should fill in more details about your environment, Adrian, since Ben evidently isn't seeing it) xemacs -vanilla M-x dired produces the error. The original patch by Dan Holmsand 2001-03-20 Dan Holmsand <dan(a)eyebee.com&gt; * realpath.c (xrealpath): Make file-truename work with symlinks to /cygdrive paths on cygwin. Always lowercase drive-letters on native windows. (cygwin_readlink): Don't try to find canonical filename unless file exists. hardcoded detection of weird characters in file names. I just changed the hardcoding with the patch below, but this isn't satisfactory for 21.5 because I know nothing about Windows filenames at this point, and it probably should be abstracted, and it surely isn't Mule-safe. Not to mention that I suspect the errors returned are bogus.
