Emacs CVS »just now«
I have problems accessing remote files in the way described in the
info manual. It worked in the past and I can connect via command line
ftp.
The error message is not really helpful, so I have no idea how to
investigate further.

I can't reproduce this, also using latest CVS and `emacs -Q'. Could you
try to debug the problem?

First, could you go to minibuffer.el, evaluate it (M-x eval-buffer),
trigger the error again, and post the backtrace? This should produce a
more informative backtrace.
Thanks.

I'm sorry, I ment to get back to you, but unfortunatley this is one of
the errors that only happen occasionally. I tried a couple of scenarios,
like with and without networking, but could not reliably reproduce the
error. It does still happen from time to time.
Now, I followd your advice and produced a somewhat more informative
backtrace. How do I get rid of the ellipses? (print-length is nil)

I didn't experience this bug for quite some time now. Maybe close it for
now? I will refile the bug in case it should resurface.
