Report on package efs 1.5

Dear Ange / Sandy:

The problem occurs when I do a find file on the following path

	/kenr@ochre://iridium/1/cs3131/public

where ochre and iridium are different Apollo machines.  If I try to find any of
the files in the resultant dired buffer I get a ``No file on this line'' error
message.

The problem seems to only occur when two file systems are involved.  If I were
finding

	/kenr@ochre:lib

for example, there would be no problem.

I get a similar failure if I find

	/cs3131@ochre:public

which is actually referencing the same file as above.

I don't know what extra information would help you locate the problem, so
please tell me if you need more.

Cheers,

Ken
