I told you already, that Tramp is checking that there are not too many
successive connection attempts. I need to know why this doesn't work in
this case, that's why I've asked for traces.

It doesn't make sense to add random tests again and again, if there is
already something that shall work. If it doesn't, it must be fixed,
instead of being ignored.

Best regards, Michael.
