Hi all,

i came across the FAQ section on the Emacswiki pages and found something 
about the package mac-utf which i think could help me. I'm using Carbon 
Emacs 22.0.50.1 installed via darwinPorts on a german MacOS X 10.3.8 and 
in dired mode german umlauts like 'ä' are display as '\344' in the date 
column and as a and blank character.

If i set

(setenv "LC_ALL" "C")

the 'ä' in the date are displayed as 'a'. Thanks to Seiji Zenitani for 
this hint.

I installed mule-ucs and mac-utf and guess it's working fine because i 
don't see any complains during startup. But if i try to invoke dired 
mode i only get an error message (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p 
nil) nothing more, i.e. not dir is displayed :-(

Could someone please tell me if the package is helpfull for me at all 
and what's going wrong when i invoke dired.

Here's Backtrace's output:
