which tramp? app-emacs/tramp or app-xemacs/tramp?

Created attachment 38303 [details]
ebuild for app-emacs/tramp 2.1.1

The new version of tramp fixes the bug.  The build process is the same so
simply copying the old e-build to a file with the new version number does the
trick.

I know this problem applies to app-emacs/tramp, I'm not sure about app-xemacs/tramp.  My ebuild is for app-emacs/tramp.

Which version of tramp has the problem? tramp-2.1.1 had been in CVS since yesterday. I committed tramp-2.1.1.ebuild along with tramp-2.0.44.ebuild. It looks your ebuild is exactly the same as what I committed. In my environment, neither tramp-2.0.44 nor 2.1.1 have the problem. Please paste `emerge info` and the version of your emacs/tramp.

Please reopen the bug if the problem still persists.
