Reproduce the problem with:

1. emacs -Q
2. C-x d  ;; dired
3. Write or use autocomple to enter a existing directory name ending with '/'
4. The contents of the directory are listed and showed using help mode.

I cannot reproduce this with today's master branch.

Neither can I.

OK. I can't reproduce it either with the same build as the one I used to report. (Repository revision: 8224430bd9d71dfcf2524b758d8ac14a1d93b0d5)

The error just happened after changing the host name and seems to dissapear a while after I corrected a "Error message 'sudo: unable to resolve host newhostname" (updading both hostname and hosts files).

Okay, I'll close the bug then (although if you happen to figure out
exactly what system misconfiguration causes it could be interesting to
get Emacs to handle it better).
