Thanks for this. However, I'm not sure whether all bourne shell
derivates support process substitution <().

What if Tramp uses another heredoc delimeter but 'EOF'? I've appended a
respective patch; could you, please, check?

If it doesn't work for you, please set tramp-verbose to 6, and rerun
your test. I would like to see the Tramp debug buffer then. Explain
also, what you have invoked, and how.

Best regards, Michael.
