[Bug: 21.5-b28] Problem with dired (C-x d)

Hallo, Dear Bug Team!

Occasionally, I have problems changing to a directory via 'C-x d', when 
within a dired buffer.
Only error message is 'buffer-read-only...', see following stack trace. 
When I kill all dired buffers
and retry, it works again.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (buffer-read-only #<buffer "*Buffer List*">)
  indent-to(3 0)
  indent-rigidly(1 #<marker at 91 in *Buffer List* 0x1edf088> 2)

Recent messages (most recent first):
-----------------------------------

Warning:

Defaulting to the GNU Emacs-derived `sendmail.el' mail client. This 
facility,
while part of base XEmacs, is heinously underfeatured, and not going to get
better in the medium term. We include it so that bug reports work without
packages; we suggest that you choose and/or install one of the other mail
clients from packages if you're doing something other than M-x
report-xemacs-bug , or even if you are reporting bugs regularly.

To choose a package from those installed, click on "Options" ->
"Internet" -> "Compose Mail With ..." and decide on one from the
list. Gnus and VM are full-featured and have active user communities.

To disable this warning and stick with the old behavior, you can explicitly
initialize `mail-user-agent' to 'sendmail-user-agent .
