Ouch, this broke my configuration.  When the init file contains:

  (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'dired-sort-toggle)

trying to visit a Dired buffer fails with:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No subdir-alist in tmp")
  signal(error ("No subdir-alist in tmp"))
  error("No subdir-alist in %s" #<buffer tmp>)
