Subject: Re: bug#13575: 24.1; dired-mark-sexp misparses directory contents

Version: 25.1

No complaints, so pushed.

For the record, the OP's example can easily be tested like this: Yank
the directory listing into some new buffer, load dired-x and call
virtual-dired.  Then run dired-mark-sexp as described (but correct the
typo "inodes" to "inode s").  The relevant output in *Messages* is

name=.;inode=nil;s=nil;mode=drwxrwxr-x;nlink=2;uid=mcafee;gid=mcafee;size=4096;time=Jan 27 18:31;sym=
name=..;inode=nil;s=nil;mode=drwxr-xr-x;nlink=44;uid=mcafee;gid=mcafee;size=12288;time=Jan 27 18:31;sym=
name=bar;inode=nil;s=nil;mode=-rw-rw-r--;nlink=1;uid=mcafee;gid=mcafee;size=8;time=Jan 27 18:31;sym=
