I see what you're talking about.  The problem is that Tramp invokes
ssh to connect the remote host, then waits 60 seconds for the shell
prompt.  Additionally, it could check whether the process is still
alive and stop waiting when the process dies.  I completely forgot to
put this in.

Can't promise to do this right away, but I'll try.

Thanks a lot for helping make Tramp better!
