tramp recursive load

There is some discussion of this problem in May 2011, but it wasn't helpful
to me.

I'm trying to use emacs, running on a Windows machine to edit files on a
remote Linux machine, using tramp.  Using v. 23.1.1 from my laptop, which
has Windows 7 professional 32 bit, everything is fine.

Using 23.1.1 or other recent emacs versions from a virtual Windows 7
Enterprise (SP 1) 32 bit machine, I get the "recursive load" error.

 

The command I'm trying to run is /plink:<user>@<ip-address><:/home/<user>,
which should get me into dired on the remote machine.

 

It looks as though requiring tramp loads tramp.el, which in turn requires
tramp-cmds, which in turn requires tramp.  I'm guessing the fact that
tramp-cmds is loaded by eval-after-load is supposed to make this work out
right, but something goes wrong.

 

I also get the problem on 23.4, and there isn't a later version for Windows.
I've also tried lots of other variants, to no avail.

 

I have no idea why Windows 7 Pro 32 doesn't have the problem, but Windows 7
Enterprise 32 does.

 

I don't think this is a plink problem.

 

I've also tried requiring 'tramp in my .emacs file, and manually loading
tramp or tramp-cmds.  On occasion, I've gotten it to work (even on Windows
Enterprise) but then I can't reproduce it.  I'd be happy with a work-around,
even if I have to do some rigmarole when I start emacs.
