Subject: bug#53739: 28.0.91; "C-x d" fails when "emacs -Q" starts on NetBSD with plan9/bin on head of PATH
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2022 22:12:31 +0000 (UTC)

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

For the following interactive shells:

* /bin/sh
* /usr/pkg/bin/zsh
* /usr/local/plan9/bin/rc

when "/usr/local/plan9/bin" is at the head of the PATH environment
variable and entry to GNU Emacs is by "emacs -Q", inside GNU Emacs the
dired command fails

# steps to reproduce behavior
* start by 'emacs -Q'
* list directory by 'C-x d'

# observed behavior
# minibuffer echo area says

> insert-directory: Listing directory failed but `access-file' worked

# expected behavior
# window displays listing of Dired, for example
