Tramp's start-file-process implementation does not support ptys. And I
have no idea how to implement it.
For the time being, I will add a check for PROGRAM, resulting in an
error when it is nil. No solution, of course, but a more precise
indicator.

I would appreciate any patch for this! Or at least proposals how to implement.
Best regards, Michael.
