When I find a file on a remote machine, emacs will store it in a buffer,
but it doesn't automatically switch to that buffer.

It gives this error message:

apply: Wrong type argument: listp, 2579
    

This was reported just a couple of days ago, but I haven't had time
to look into it.  You're getting an error message, that's a promising
start for debugging.  Could you please do the following:

- Load tramp.el instead of tramp.elc (with M-x load-library RET
  tramp.el RET, for example).
- C-u 1 M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET to turn on debugging.
- Reproduce the problem.

You should now get a backtrace.  Please post it.

I also run Windows xp.  This happens when I find a file that is on a remote machine.  The remote machine is running SunOs 2.6 if that makes any difference.  The file is brought over fine and I can make changes to it, the only problem I have seen is that it doesn't switch to the buffer that holds it like I would expect.

  I hope this will be true of my desktop computer

I can't believe it.  Anyhow, if it works, fine, but I'm REALLY
surprised.

I'll wait for further reports from others...

I installed version 2.0.27 and I still get the same error and a backtrace that is identical as far as I can tell:
