You lose all automatic updating of dired buffers.  You'll have to
revert the buffer a lot.  Another possible work around is to load
fn-handler.el.  Because this overloads all I/O functions to provide
the file-name-handler-alist support in lisp, it should avoid the GC
lossage problems.  There will be a few minors problems to do with
wrong number of args in the overloaded functions in fn-handler.el, but
these are very easily patched.
