I suggested that directory-files might take the SDATA of the default-directory (i.e. its internal utf-8 representation), prepend it to the file name and mark the result as a unibyte string before returning it. I have no evidence saying it's what happens, but based on the message log something along these lines might be going on and could explain the behavior. > Does any of the functions involved encode file names by hand? You mean the functions in autoload.el or package.el? I don't think so. > Why don't you ask that guy to install a development snapshot? If the > problem persists, we can help him then. He's a student of mine, so use of Emacs is mostly imposed and I since he found a workaround (use that alternate user with all-ASCII name) I think he's happy enough to move on. Stefan
