That's not a bug, that's a cockpit error: `i' only works on lines
that name directories, and d:/cvs/emacs/etc/enriched.doc is not a
directory.

These are all non-directories.  Please find a line that mentions a
directory and try `i' on that line, or run "M-x locate" so that some
of the file names it returns are directories.
