Do you mean you see the problem for _remote_ files or for _local_ files?

   On a side note, I never knew (or used) 'i' in the locate buffer.  But
   it doesn't work on windows, even with -q --no-site-file.  The error
   returned is:

   dired-insert-subdir: Attempt to insert a non-directory: 
d:/cvs/emacs/debug/etc/enriched.doc/

Do you get that error _after_ the (require tramp) and for remote directories?
Obviously, if the file is not a directory, or not recognized as one,
that is the error message you will get.

Kai do you know or can you see from:

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2004-05/msg00190.html

what the problem is?
