Re: tramp (2.1.7); 2.1.7 - revert-buffer gives "tramp-flush-file-property: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"

[Jonathan Hankins]

Michael,

Thanks for the reply.

I have a backtrace and verbose level 8 info below.  I also discovered this.
If I delete the byte-compiled tramp files, the error does not happen, and
"revert-buffer" works correctly.

I re-compiled the tramp files from inside emacs (not from "make" in the source
directory) and had the same results, i.e., the error when calling
"revert-buffer".

Here is the backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  directory-file-name(nil)
  tramp-flush-file-property(nil nil)
  tramp-cache-before-revert-function()
  run-hooks(before-revert-hook)
  revert-buffer(t)
* call-interactively(revert-buffer)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
* call-interactively(execute-extended-command)

And here are the files:

tramp.buffer
Description: Tramp buffer

debug.buffer
Description: Debug buffer

Thanks,

-Jonathan Hankins
