This should never happen.

Try running Emacs under a C debugger and look at the C backtrace.
It'll give you more details (more specifically, it should give you
a superset of the elisp backtrace) so you'll be able to seee where in
re-search-forward is ange-ftp-del-tmp-name called.

Also try M-x debug-on-entry RET ange-ftp-del-tmp-name RET and see if you get
a different backtrace.

Finally, take my offending 08/11 patch to ange-ftp and try to apply only
parts of it (using the traditional binary search) to figure out which
part(s) trigger the problem.
