I've played around with Tramp 2.0.51 on my C110 running HP-UX 10.20.

I still can reproduce your problem. It is likely caused due to not
working time-outs in `accept-process-output', which must be related to
HP-UX somehow, because I haven't seen it on other operating systems.

Time-out handling has been rewritten in Tramp 2.1. I've applied Tramp
2.1.4 with scp on my machine; no problem. So maybe you give it a
try. I fear, rewriting time-out handling in Tramp 2.0 would exceed
maintenance effort we can apply for it.

Please be a little bit careful, because Tramp 2.1.4 is a developers
release. And it isn't available as XEmacs package yet, so you would
need to install it yourself.
