In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.1) of Mon Oct 10 1994 on ptolemy
To reproduce the problem type
C-x C-f /anonymous@ftp.stsci.edu:
This is difficult to debug because I get different behavior depending
on which functions are compiled with edebug and whether an FTP buffer
already exists.
Starting up without my initialization file and under various other
circumstances with my initialization file I get
Signalling: (ftp-error "FTP Error: USER request failed: 230-\"ftp.stsci.edu: unknown host\", the new IP address will be 130.167.1.125.")
Sometimes I get past that, then it fails in ange-ftp-guess-hash-mark-size
with the following traceback:
Signalling: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
string-match("[hH]ash mark [^0-9]*\\([0-9]+\\)" nil)
ange-ftp-guess-hash-mark-size(#<process *ftp anonymous@ftp.stsci.edu*>)
ange-ftp-get-process("ftp.stsci.edu" "anonymous")
ange-ftp-send-cmd("ftp.stsci.edu" "anonymous" (pwd) "Getting PWD")
ange-ftp-get-pwd("ftp.stsci.edu" "anonymous")
ange-ftp-expand-dir("ftp.stsci.edu" "anonymous" "~")
ange-ftp-canonize-filename("/ftp.stsci.edu:")
ange-ftp-expand-file-name("/ftp.stsci.edu:" nil)
apply(ange-ftp-expand-file-name ("/ftp.stsci.edu:" nil))
ange-ftp-hook-function(expand-file-name "/ftp.stsci.edu:" nil)
expand-file-name("/ftp.stsci.edu:")
find-file-noselect("/ftp.stsci.edu:")
find-file("/ftp.stsci.edu:")
call-interactively(find-file)
When I debug ange-ftp-guess-hash-mark-size, it seems to indicate that
there is no ftp process, perhaps because of the above error. All very
peculiar.
