tramp mode: login failed / accept-process-output

[David Reitter]

Tramp mode fails to open a file with "Login failed" due to a
timeout. I interrupted it; the trace stack is below.

I tried troubleshooting this a bit, to no avail.
It works fine on localhost (Mac OS X) and on another server (FreeBSD).

The problematic network of machines uses

GNU bash, version 3.00.14(1)-release (i686-redhat-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I don't know what else to test for - please let me know and I'll do  
that.
