Hi Andres,

Honesty, I'm out of an idea what happened. According to what you have
send the other message, the last command sequence searching for "ls"
works fine. Even the expected result is seen in the trace, afterwards
the connection breaks without any further notice but

I've checked the archives; some months ago there was a long thread about
busybox problems. See <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.tramp/7089>.
The problems discussed there seem to be unrelated to your problem, 'tho.

We need more traces. Could you, please, run again a test from a fresh
"emacs -Q"? Before you start emacs, remove the file "~/.emacs.d/tramp"
(which contains cached values). After starting Emacs, please eval

     (require 'tramp)
     (require 'trace)
     (dolist (elt (all-completions "tramp-" obarray 'functionp))
       (trace-function-background (intern elt)))
     (untrace-function 'tramp-read-passwd)

Then run the test. There will be a resulting buffer *trace-output*,
which could tell us more.

Thanks, and best regards, Michael.
