Tramp hanging (forever?) when saving

[Kirk Strauser]

I'm using Emacs from Ubuntu's upcoming Karmic release with Tramp 2.1.16
compiled and installed this morning.  Whever I try to save one particular
file, Tramp always hangs.  Sometimes I can re-save it with a different
method (ie switching from /ssh: to /sftp: or /scp:), but sometimes that
will also fail or even corrupt the remote file.

The remote host is FreeBSD with zsh, and I've followed the advice in the
FAQ for such setups.  Even changing my shell to /bin/sh doesn't help
matters, though.  Here's a truncated log, verbosity 10, of trying to save
a file.  From past experience I'm confident that I could have let it try
for a hour with no difference except for the number of repeated lines at
the end.

Is there anything else I can try to provide more troubleshooting
information?
