I can reproduce the situation on a MULE XEmacs in an UTF-8 locale.  (It
also breaks on a non-MULE XEmacs, but in a different way.  Fixing it
there is harder.)  The reason is that `default-process-coding-system' is
'undecided in the read direction, and UTF-8 fails to get detected.  My
suggestion is to align the coding system in `insert-directory' with the
locale's coding system.  Works for me.

Maybe the MULE experts could review?  I'd appreciate that!

	* files.el (insert-directory): Bind `coding-system-for-read'
	according to the current locale where available.  (Previously, the
	default ended up being undecided, which doesn't work well for
	UTF-8-based locales, for example.)
