"Process died" error

[Philip Kime]

I have a strange TRAMP issue (2.1.15). Connecting to a new opensolaris  
host - I always get "Process died" (and it really does die - core  
dumps). Trace is below.

* I tried the the 2.1.16-pre CVS, same issue
* I tried other user accounts same issue
* I tried alternate shells and shell versions on the remote, same issue
* I get a core dump every time in the remote home dir
* This version of tramp connects without problem to all other machines  
(including solaris 10 boxes)
* I can M-x shell and then ssh into this problem machine without any  
trouble at all
