Recently, sudo has stopped working in eshell with the error being
~ $ sudo ls
Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size
~ $
I had tried to find out what is the source of presumably, some loop, but
couldn't find out exactly, but quite by accident, I noticed that sudo
starts working if I load tramp (as in (require 'tramp)). It doesn't matter
if it is loaded before or after loading eshell.
So this is what I do now to get sudo working, but I am curious why this
happens. If I recall correctly, although I haven't used eshell much at that
point, sudo used to work without this a few versions back. The only other
configuration of eshell I have is
(require 'eshell)
(setq eshell-cmpl-ignore-case t
eshell-cmpl-cycle-completions nil)
which I believe shouldn't interfere. This happens with a few recent
pretests. The latest I have installed is
GNU Emacs 24.2.93.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.13)
compiled from source.

Which bzr version have you used? There was a fix recently, in bzr #111277.
