Hi!

I am unable to open any directory with dired at this point. As detailed
below, I am using Emacs 29 via snap. The stacktrace is attached below
and was produced with an empty .emacs: simply starting Emacs, C-x C-f
and pressing enter.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument arrayp nil)
dired--make-directory-clickable()
dired-readin()
dired-internal-noselect("~/" nil)
dired-noselect("~/")
run-hook-with-args-until-success(dired-noselect "~/")
find-file-noselect("~/" nil nil t)
find-file("~/" t)
funcall-interactively(find-file "~/" t)
command-execute(find-file)

Cheers, Felix

Sorry about the breakage.

This looks like it might be the same as bug#58870. I think you need to 
update to revision 44f1b1edcf74de3be7251780f058b29ccd038150 or newer.
