Nope. "mock" is not a command. It is a fake (mock) Tramp method I create
on-the-fly when running tramp-test.el. This is because I cannot use any
real Tramp method, because usually they require user authentication,
which is a no-go for tests running in batch mode.

According to your backtrace, you have interrupted Tramp at the following
place:

This is the command "echo \\\"`getconf PATH 2>/dev/null`\\\"
2>/dev/null; echo tramp_exit_status $?", which shouldn't fail. At least
it didn't fail so far.

Could you send the full Tramp traces? Maybe my last change has damaged
something else.
