Does C-g wake Emacs up?

Which version of Tramp have you got?  It's quite possible that recent
versions don't work with Emacs 20 anymore.  I haven't tried.

If C-g wakes it up, then please (setq tramp-debug-buffer t), start
Emacs again, make it hang again, hit C-g, then post the *tramp/foo*
buffer as well as the *debug tramp/foo* buffer.  (If there are
passwords in them, remove them first.)

Thanks,
Kai

The only *tramp/* buffer I have is *debug tramp/nil ken@192.168.0.200 
and it says:

$ echo are you awake

Ah, the strange characters look familiar.  I recall that I changed
something in Tramp so that it works better with some Emacs versions.

Maybe you can search for the md5 call in tramp.el and comment it out. 
Or you have a look at the current Tramp version (2.0.38) to see if the
md5 invocation there looks different.

Sadly, I don't have access to Tramp at the moment.

Is there another source for the current version other than Savannah?
Seems they are still trying to repair the hack.

Sorry, I'm reading it quite late.

I guess it's now available again.

After upgrading to emacs-21.2-33 with tramp-2.0.28, everything is 
working fine.  Happy new version to me!

tramp hangs

[gebser]

Reading along another email on this list, I figured I'd give tramp a try
to a local box.  I did "C-x 4 C-f ..." and the minibuffer announced
activity like unsetting variables.  Then it showed "tramp: setting shell
prompt" and hung there.  And it's been hanging for about ten minutes.  
I have three emacs frames open and all three are hung.  (I can't run any
commands, can't even move the point, not with the keyboard and not even
with the mouse.  Can't open any menus either. 

I'm using emacs 20.7.41.


Any help appreciated.
