[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I have a file on a ftp location 10.0.42.141 called ph_exec.  In emacs 
22.2.1 this code works correctly.

(setq ange-ftp-dumb-unix-host-regexp ".*")
(file-directory-p "/anonymous <at> 10.0.42.141:/ph_exec.exe")

however in 22.3.1 it does not work and incorrectly reports ph_exec as 
being a directory

I was unable to log in to 10.0.42.141 to reproduce this bug.  However,

  (file-directory-p "/anonymous <at> ftp.kernel.org:/pub/README")

works properly (i.e., it returns nil).  I recently fixed a bug in
ange-ftp.el which may be related to this, so could you check whether the
problem persists with latest CVS?

This bug is being closed because it is presumed fixed and there
was no response to a request for more information.
If you still see the problem, reply and it can be reopened.
