Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Hi, 
i can't register a file with vc/rcs when i am logged as root throught
tramp.
1) C-x v i
2) Create RCS dir (y/n) ==> The dir is created.
3) But now ==> _Here the debug output_:

_And if i want to delete RCS directory from dired_:

However if i open an emacs  root session i can register my file as
normal.

(It's a long time i have this problem and always forget to send bug -
since emacs 22 i think)

Thank you.

Thierry.

please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
