* Perplexing dired behavior on "R": "pinging..."

Using emacs 24.4.1.

In a dired buffer, I "% m" to mark all files containing ".org". The
first of these, for instance, is called "animals.org". Once the files
are marked, I intend to move them to a new directory, and I type
"R". Then the minibuffer says,

"Pinging animals.org (Non-profit Organization)..."

And the process stalls. A quick investigation via "C-h k R" tells me
that the command is still bound to "dired-do-rename". What is getting
called here, and why? It seems only to happen when I'm trying to rename
multiple marked files. If I mark only one, things happen as they should.

Thank you!
steven arntson

Good one!  If you get that behavior after you start Emacs
using `emacs -Q' (no init file) then please file that as a bug:
`M-x report-emacs-bug'.  Sounds like it is picking up the
URL at point and trying to get to it.  Quite a "feature"!

Restarting with -Q appeared to fix the problem. However, then when I
restarted again normally, the problem remained fixed! So I'm left
thinking that what I really needed to do was restart. Lesson learned ...
