Dired 7.10 bug: dired-do-copy fails on directories on win2000

i sent the follwing msg a fortnight ago, but it might got lost in no man's land... so here it is again: hi after a quick discussion on c.e.x it might by reasonable to raise the following issue as a bug: dired-do-copy fails when applied to a directory. the error message is: Copy [-p] `c:\apache\ampersand' to `c:\apache\peter' failed: (file-error Opening input file Permission denied c:\_idx\spider\6.5\apache\ampersand) strangely enough rename and delete both work fine, copying in ms windows explorer works and dired-copying with an GNU emacs worked as well. leooo ps: maybe important: i have installed xemacs 21.4.10 natively but cywin is on the system present.
