Would it be possible for Tramp to detect the "test: argument expected" error message and force a "cleanup-connection" at that point? [ and of course, do similar things wherever applicable: the idea is to try and detect when the cached properties become invalid, which will necessarily happen over time as machines get upgraded/replaced/... ] -- Stefan
