I've figured out what my "different problem" was caused by, and am now
issuing a new warning. I'd opened the a directory using netrw, then
tried using :Nread ... and that was, of course, attempting to read the
file into the netrw buffer (which is not modifiable). I don't believe
that the problem I just fixed is pertinent to the problem you're having.
