Hi Michael,
That mostly fixes the problem. I can now complete things (interestingly, when
I type /mc<TAB>, it first completes to /mcgd, then <TAB> again fills in the
rest). It doesn't do it everywhere though. C-x C-f works fine, but if I do
M-x copy-file, completion doesn't happen there.
Another thing I have noticed (not sure if this is related) is this: Part of my
emacs startup loads a list of buffers and cursor positions saved before. This
includes ange-ftp path names. I haven't had trouble with this before, but now
it's failing to load some files, and although calling (find-file
"path-to-file") from M-x : works, it doesn't work if put into a function. To
narrow this down I made a little function called testit which loads two files:
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/public_html/training.php3 and
/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/public_html/courseware/account/index.php3
This is the function:
(defun testit ()
(interactive)
(find-file "/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/public_html/training.php3")
(find-file
"/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/public_html/courseware/account/index.php3")
)
When I run it, I get these messages:

Notice how it tries to put a slash on the end of the file name and list it as
a directory. Something is confused somewhere there. Oddly this doesn't seem
to happen unless I put it in a function following another find-file which also
loads an ange-ftp path name. However it doesn't have to be the next command.
The real code has quite a bit of messing around between each find-file, but
they are all running in the same function.
Cheers

Hi Michael,
Hi Matthew,
The trace is enclosed. Not sure if you wanted me to trace all of
this, but what I did was basically this:
Thanks a lot for the trace, it is interesting, indeed. I believe I've
found the problem. Could you, please, test the appended patch? It is
towards Tramp 2.1.11-pre, so you might need to adapt the line numbers.
Cheers
-Matthew
Thanks for your patient testing, and best regards, Michael.
