find-dired behaves strangely

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi everyone,
I tried the M-x find-dired, and then I entered into the dired-mode. Then I 
invoked M-x dired-do-query-replace-regexp for the marked files. To my surprise, 
each time I got a indication that "dired-move-to-filename: No file on this 
line", but I am sure the file is there. Then I tried to launch emacs -q without 
the Dea Configuration. Everything worked well. Any suggestion will be 
appreciated. 
BTW, how to find the bug when I meet a problem. I do not want to bother you 
each time. For me it will be really a long way to learn emacs. So this time, I 
could not behave as a user of emacs, but a slight developer. 
I am looking forward to a maillist for Dea. We could report the bug and receive 
the response as soon as possible.  
Thanks a lot for your attention,
Weidong

Hi everyone, 
It seems everyone is so busy without response. I will add some extra 
information I found tonight, which will be better to solve this issue. 
If we use the M-x find-dired, each time at the end of the dired buffer, you 
will normally see something like "find finished at Sun Nov 28 00:44:49", as can 
seen below. If I remove this line and the blanks between this line and the last 
searched item, everything works well. But what confused me, was that if the 
emacs is launched by default(I mean with out any .emacs file, emacs -q), even 
with this line "find finished at Sun Nov 28 00:44:49", everything works pretty 
well. I googled this issue and I found one link concerning this issue, 
http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/emacs-21.1/html_node/faq_96.html 
I have tried to use dired-move-to-filename-regexp to replace 
dired-move-to-filename in dired-settings.el. 
Still the issue existed.  Thanks a lot for your attention.
