Hi Micheal,

The patch did not succeed automatically.  I downloaded 2.1.11 from 
gnu.org and maybe the version differs from your 2.1.11.  In my version, 
I do not have the following line:

        (with-parsed-tramp-file-name (expand-file-name directory) nil

Instead, I had the following line:

        (with-parsed-tramp-file-name directory nil

Regardless, I incorporated the patch manually, and everything seems to 
work.  This is definitely an acceptable solution (10 second delay).

Thank you for your assistance again.
