I executed the function in the tramp-chunksize docstring. Result: "Bytes sent: 1000 Bytes received: 1000" That seems to indicate that my system does not have the problem referred to in the docstring. I set tramp-chunksize to 500. Still the same: tramp: Decoding remote file /ssh:raven.dms.auburn.edu:/home/teirllm/streams.texi with function base64-decode-region... tramp-handle-file-local-copy: Invalid base64 data (Yanked from *Messages*.) Note that the error only occurs when using auto-revert-mode and when there already is a remote file being visited (and hence auto-reverted). This problem and the crash do not occur if auto-reverting of remote files is disabled using the option I posted. Sincerely, Luc.
