It's a pretty vague bug :-S
Try:
-(setq insert-default-directory nil) in .emacs
-restart
C-x C-f
..
- then try using tab completion
Trying to get into a parent or the current directory and then using tab
completion seems to be the root of the problem. I don't know any way of
doing that other than using '../' as a path, and that seems to be what
causes the problem.
cheers,
Chris
