With your latest changes to tramp, scp works as expected, but there
are two problem I saw with the ssh method:


1.) Shouldn't the ssh method allow interactive logins? That doesn't
    work. Tramp is waiting at the password prompt until it times out.


2.) I open /ssh:address@hidden:/root/ and get the directory listing as
    expected. If I open /ssh:address@hidden:/ or choose a file in the dired
    buffer (here .tramp_history) I get the following backtrace:
