Subject: 23.1.50; tramp-ftp-file-name-handler: Recursive `require' for feature `ange-ftp'

Message-ID: <8763aykviq.fsf@escher.local.home>

Until sometime within the last few weeks (sorry, I can't narrow it down
more), the following (anonymized) code worked fine:

(defun my-ftp ()
  "Call dired on my ftp server."
  (interactive)
  (require 'tramp)
  (let ((default-directory "/ftp:my-name@my.server.net:/"))
    (call-interactively 'dired)))

But now it throws the error in the Subject line (also with emacs -Q
built with make bootstrap).  When I comment out (require 'tramp) and
eval the resulting defun in emacs -Q, then I get this error:

expand-file-name: Recursive load: "/home/steve/cvsroot/emacs/lisp/net/tramp.elc", "/home/steve/cvsroot/emacs/lisp/net/tramp.elc", "/home/steve/cvsroot/emacs/lisp/net/tramp.elc", "/home/steve/cvsroot/emacs/lisp/net/tramp.elc", "/home/steve/cvsroot/emacs/lisp/net/tramp.elc", "/home/steve/cvsroot/emacs/lisp/dired.elc"

Doing `C-x d RET /ftp:my-name@my.server.net:/ RET' works as always.
After doing this, then my-ftp also works (both with the require-sexp and
without it).

The problem is only with ftp handling; the following defun works fine:

(defun sv ()
  "Call dired on /su::/var/log."
  (interactive)
  (require 'tramp)
  (let ((default-directory "/su::/var/log"))
    (call-interactively 'dired)))

Did something change in the ftp handling that I have to adapt my-ftp to,
or is this a bug in Emacs?
