Maybe. rcp.el has stopped working as of 1.339. 1.329 does work. The
debug buffers are very similar, apart from the different ways of
setting up the remote PATH.
Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
signal(wrong-type-argument (stringp nil))
byte-code("..." [kill-buffer buf signal data] 3)
find-file-noselect("/r:morse:.vm")
find-file("/r:morse:.vm" nil)

The above are for a symlink but a real file gives the same error.
On separate minor points, why was the test for EFS changed from "if"
to "when"? The test ought to be moved to after a (require 'cl) as
that is where "when" is loaded from.
Also, for the mimencode stuff to work there ought to be a (require
'base64) with a suitable wrapper to ignore failure.
