bug#9814: 23.3; unguarded setq of default-directory in ido.el


From: Dave Abrahams
Subject: bug#9814: 23.3; unguarded setq of default-directory in ido.el
Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:53:48 -0400
User-agent: Gnus/5.110018 (No Gnus v0.18) Emacs/23.3 (darwin)

I'm sorry that I don't have a reproducer at the moment.  I was having
some failures during startup that would leave my Emacs unable to change
buffers with `M-x switch-to-buffer', which was remapped to
ido-switch-buffer, because it would attempt to make a Tramp connection
to some nonexistent host.  I could get around this by `M-: (setq
default-directory "~")', so I went hunting in ido.el for mentions of
default-directory and found 2 instances of (setq default-directory...)
that were not apparently surrounded by a let.  This seems like a likely
cause of the problem.
