I'm not sure on which is the md5 line to enter 
 6 lines matching "md5" in buffer tramp.el.
  1258:(defvar tramp-md5-function
  1259:  (cond ((fboundp 'md5) 'md5)
  1260: ((and (require 'md5) (fboundp 'md5-encode)) 'md5-encode)
  1261: (t (error "Coulnd't find an `md5' function")))
  1262:  "Function to call for running the MD5 algorithm.")
  1266:   (funcall tramp-md5-function

however I have run the call to tramp-m5d-function, i.e.
 ELISP> (funcall tramp-md5-function (concat (prin1-to-string 
process-environment) (current-time-string)))
 [77 132 185 233 214 162 173 93 16 202 211 255 44 243 150 9]

 ELISP>

So the call is returning non printing (i.e. 8 bit characters), and
these are being set in the prompt.


Does this help?

I have
 (setq-default buffer-file-coding-system 'undecided-unix)
and that sometimes messes up some I/O interactions, but I do not see
that this should affect the internal calls to md4. I can send you my
.emacs.el file if you want to check the other settings.

Thanks,

Douglas
