Hi Michael,

I set vc-handled-backends to nil and everything works out. I am not having
any problems even if there is a RCS directory in the folder.

I am able to open/save files without any problem. Also the 'Could not test
status' error message is also no longer present.

Do you think the problem is solved? I could send you the debug log if you
need.

Thanks
Santosh
