Hello, Symptom: systematically empty dired in Gnu emacs, no error message.
I first posted as a followup to an old message reporting the same symptom, but this only confused the matters, as the cause was then probably different: http://www.nabble.com/linked-dll-data-write-copy-failed-errors-to13750118.html linked dll data write copy failed errors I do suffer from bloda-like problems (intermittent vfork failures), but this seems to be non related, since it is systematic. I may occasionally get a vfork error too, but this is then reported. I debugged the elisp part down to the call to: insert-directory is a compiled Lisp function in `files'. (insert-directory FILE SWITCHES &optional WILDCARD FULL-DIRECTORY-P) This one just returns nil, whatever the arguments: (insert-directory "/home/emagiro" "-la") nil (insert-directory "/tmp" "-la") nil The variable: insert-directory-program is set to the default "ls", which is in my path and works otherwise. Changing it to the full path doesn't affect the behaviour. Gnu emacs is 21.2.1, and cygwin 1.7. I already posted my cygcheck output.
