Tramp fails to start a remote shell when the remote path is exactly of
the form '/ssh:host|sudo:root@host:'. It fails with a message in the
minibuffer, "Selecting deleted buffer".
To reproduce the error:
* Start emacs with -Q
* In any buffer (*scratch* is fine):
* In that same buffer, Esc-x shell
This fails (with "Selecting deleted buffer") for me in the version of
emacs listed in the bug report and more recent versions, which I
compiled, eg: GNU Emacs 24.5.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.5.0, NS
I can't get a backtrace for it, even if I set debug-on-error and
signal-on-error.
In GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0, NS apple-appkit-1265.21)
