Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:48:21 -0600

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

In eshell, running the command "ls -al" can produce the following error:

 

c:/Derek $ ls -al

total 593

Wrong type argument: integerp, -2023488832.0

 

From correspondence with Eli Zaretskii on the help-emacs-windows mailing

list, this is due to the fact that a user's uid can be a float larger
than

an Emacs Lisp integer can hold.

 

The owner of the .. directory (c: itself) appears to be a user called

TrustedInstaller.
