I don't believe we shall set the timeout to 0. It doesn't let too much
bytes through, because just one chunk of accept-process-output can be
read in 0 seconds.

In my case (Ubuntu 9.04), with the timeout of 1 second, I get

  "You should set `tramp-chunksize' to a maximum of 6750"

When I set the timeout to 0 seconds, I get

  "You should set `tramp-chunksize' to a maximum of 250"

The second statement would be wrong for me. Therefore, I believe we
shall keep the test as it is, knowing that there are serious problems on
MacOS these days, which are not because of Tramp.
