ex: No file on this line

I've managed to do this several times, but I don't know yet how to repeat it. I know about `C-h l', but I haven't spotted the pattern. After making various mistakes that I've canceled with C-g and/or C-], I get Ex into a state where I can't type SPC after `:e'. As soon as I hit SPC, instead of offering the directory path of the last file, I get a "No file on this line" error. The only way that I've found so far of fixing it is to quit Emacs and start a fresh process, which is no fix at all. -- /George V.
