Dired problem reports

[Ville Skyttä]

Hello,

I'm forwarding a couple of dired related bug reports here, perhaps someone who 
uses it could have a look and/or comment?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432101

1) After using XEmacs for a while (C, C++ modes), auto-save triggers 
minibuffer messages about "dired alist being mangled, and then the cursor 
jumps around in the buffer and some newlines are inserted in the middle of 
existing lines".  IIRC something related to the alist mangling thing was 
semi-recently discussed here, anyone remember more details?

2) The new pre-release dired package reportedly causes the following issues:
"
- Hitting enter while on top of a directory did not descend into the director
(reported that buffer 'dirname' was read-only)

- hitting 's' to resort by date would actually change to a different dired
buffer, etc
"

I don't think I've ever seen either issue.
