[toolbox-l] emacs dired-mode and old files

[Paul C. <pa...@us...>]

I'm seeing a problem in emacs dired-mode.  For files which are old enough
that "ls -l" prints the year instead of the time of day, I am unable to
manipulate these files in dired-mode.  I just get "File no longer exists".

I have a feeling it has to do with the format of the date that "ls -l"
prints, as it tends to be one column shorter when it is  the year (XXXX)
versus the time-of-day (XX:XX).

I have a slightly older version of emacs (20.4 -vs- 20.7), downloaded from
AIX PDSlib (http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/aixpdslib.html), and it does not
exhibit this symptom.
