bug#18891: Doesn't handle pwd = /C: very well

[Glenn Morris]

Package: emacs
Severity: minor
Version: 24.4

On a GNU/Linux system:

mkdir -p /C:
cd /C:
emacs-24.4 -Q

-> 
    
    Tramp: Opening connection for C using scp...
    Opening connection for C using scp... \
    Tramp: Sending command `exec ssh    -e none C'
    Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell...
    Waiting for prompts from remote shell... \
    Tramp failed to connect.  If this happens repeatedly, try
        `M-x tramp-cleanup-this-connection'
[waits for ~ 30 seconds]
    Wrote /home/rgm/.emacs.d/tramp

and Emacs never actually starts.
