Emacs Crashes as soon as I load Tramp - to replicate:

emacs -Q

M-: (require 'tramp)

After requiring tramp emacs freezes. Running top shows that emacs is

grabbing ram as fast as it can untill I kill it.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,

please include the output from the following gdb commands:

    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.

For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file

/usr/share/emacs/23.2/etc/DEBUG.
