bug#41008: 26.1; tramp/dired confirmation trapped

[pillule <pillule@riseup.net>]

Hello,

When I use tramp and dired to a remote machine, and for some reason,
dired must ask for a confirmation (overwrite, large file etc…), I
never see the demand and have no possibility to answer it.
The only trace of this is in the *message* buffer.

So, the task did not finish. An emacs buffer wait indefinitly an
answer. And nothing than the lack of result indicate to the user that
it is not working.
