Steps to reproduce :

emacs -Q
M-: (dired (list "Something" "/" "~/"))

this gives, on my system:
: /home/youngfrog/mesnotes/lisp:
: drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 mar 15 20:53 /
: drwxr-xr-x 128 youngfrog youngfrog 12288 avr  7 18:23 /home/youngfrog/

which is not properly aligned.

OTOH, doing
M-: (dired (list "Something" "~/" "/" "/usr" ))

gives:
: drwxr-xr-x 128 youngfrog youngfrog 12288 avr  7 18:23 /home/youngfrog/
: drwxr-xr-x  22 root      root       4096 mar 15 20:53 /
: drwxr-xr-x  10 root      root       4096 nov  9  2012 /usr

which is ok wrt alignment.

It's dired-align-file that apparently can not do its work in the first
situation. Not sure if this can be fixed easily. From the comments, the
condition (> other-col file-col) seems important in the current
implementation.

Opinions ?
