I also run Windows xp.  This happens when I find a file that is on a remote
machine.  The remote machine is running SunOs 2.6 if that makes any difference.
 The file is brought over fine and I can make changes to it, the only problem
I have seen is that it doesn't switch to the buffer that holds it like I
would expect.

I installed version 2.0.27 and I still get the same error and a backtrace
that is identical as far as I can tell:
