Can't replicate this by starting the Emacs -Q from the emacs src  
directory, setting ido-mode, and then trying "C-x C-f newdir/foo  
<Ret>".  Is there anything unusual about which dir you sit in when  
executing the emacs command, or what type of dir or filename you have  
to type in?  Do you have any NFS or other network mounts?
